Adventures in Potty Training

We are reluctantly entering the realm of potty training. I say "reluctantly" because things are just so much easier with diapers. No waiting on anything, no having to pull over and find a potty. But it is what it is. To help motivate baby girl, we've come up with a sticker chart. She gets a sticker on her chart every time she uses the potty. She has taken to saying she "really, really, REALLY has to GO!" every evening juuuust before bed time. Coincidence or stall tactic? Hmmmm...

Anyway, tonight she was sitting on the potty and she really wanted that sticker. So she started giving her pee a pep talk.

Ali: Come on, pee, LET'S GO!

:::nothing:::

Ali: Come on, PEE, LET'S GO!!

:::nothing:::

Ali: Come ON, PEE, LET'S GO!! TIME TO COME OUT!!

:::nothing:::

Ali (getting frustrated): I want the pee to work, mommy!! I want the pee to work on the potty!!

Me, too, baby girl. Me, too.
