Surprise Potty ‘Training’
Note: Edie is probably going to ask me to remove this post when she’s older…
So, in a previous post I wrote about how we picked up a BabyBjörn Little Potty for Edie when we were in Seattle. We got it thinking it would be nice to have for when she’s older, or maybe for the summer when she can run around with just a diaper on and no diaper cover. We decided to give it a try, though, just for kicks. And…
We have not had a poopy diaper in four days!
We had been noticing that Edie has mainly been pooping in the morning, so we’ve been sitting her up on her Little Potty as soon as she wakes up. She actually seems to enjoy sitting on it a lot, I think because she has a little longer reach into her basket of toys. And like clockwork, about 3-5 minutes after sitting on her Little Potty, she puts it to good use.
Now, I know we don’t have Edie potty trained by any means, but we sure are getting closer to getting ourselves potty trained as parents! It kind of makes me wish we had tried elimination communication earlier, but I feel like Edie is just now falling into a schedule, with her sleep and everything else. It almost feels like it’s been too easy to get her using it. Ashley has started putting her on it after she wakes up from her naps to pee, also, which I think I’ll start doing as well. I’m not confident it will last, but for now it’s pretty fun, and it’s really nice to know that she doesn’t have to sit in poopy diapers!
