So, we are slowly trying to potty train Lily. It's kinda difficult with our opposite schedules and busy lives, but anything helps. Every morning, when she gets out of bed, Jason takes her to the bathroom to sit on her little princess potty. She just sits there reading her favorite magazine, Readers Digest, (I don't know if it's because it's more her size or what), but she never actually potties. She knows what she is doing though. So this morning, Jason emailed me here at work and told me the following:
Lily put Dora, her new dolly, on the toilet to do some potty training. It was very cute as she was trying to get her doll to read a magazine while sitting on the potty. She was using the same verbiage that Jason uses with her when we're doing potty training in the mornings. She was reassuring her to try and go potty and was giving her different magazines to look at while sitting on the potty. She then started taking all kinds of stuff out of the bathroom drawers to give to Dora to keep her occupied until she "pottied." After about ten minutes, Jason shut it down because he didn't expect Dora to do anything.
I'll be posting more pics soon.
So cute! I'm actually having that same issue with my son. He'll go through all the motions of potty training, but then he just sits there and nothing happens. He could sit there for a whole 20 minutes, reading his books and we'll play patty cake, but nothing ever happens =( Good luck!
