OMG!!!! I cannot believe it!!! A few months ago we introduced Abby to the potty. While it was difficult to try to potty train her while pregnant, I have been more diligent of late to get her to go. She is awesome. Abby will come to you and sign/say the word potty. And 9 out of 10 times she will go with a little encouragement of water. Daycare has also been doing potty attempts, but nothing... until TODAY!!!! She went up to her teacher and signed/said potty. So the teacher took her and without any encouragement, other than placing her on the potty, SHE WENT LIKE A BIG GIRL!!!! She even got a big sticker. I am so proud. Potty training in full force in the Pettis household! Going shopping tomorrow for big girl panties - hopefully she will make this a habit. I am doing the potty dance! __________________ Eli Mom to Abby (DS 10/21/03), James Thomas (01/31/06)

Wow that is encouraging. I've tried with Austin. He looks at me and bursts into tears when I put him on the potty. Amy __________________ "You are an unrepeatable Miracle.

We've been talking about bringing out the ol' potties around here, too, but Sarah shows little interest. I hope the potty training continues for you. As for Sarah, we'll keep you posted! __________________ Lisa, mom to Stephen(6/4/00) Sarah(DS 5/17/03) and baby #3 due (7/6/06)

WOW Abby! That's great that she's telling you when she needs it - I thought that didn't come until much later. And Matt worked it out today, for the first time at nursery, and did 2 wees in his potty. He's been doing fine at home, just didn't get it at nursery. Hopefully we're both well on the way to toilet-trained kids!!! __________________ Helen Mum to Rachael Kinza (25/07/01), Matthew Isaac DS (14/06/03) and Hannah Cerys (14/06/05) - my gorgeous children!

Yeah for Abbey That's our next big milestone with Callum. I have a feeling that him and Kieran will do it at the same time. He did ask to sit on the potty at school the other day (because all the other kids were) but didn't actually do anything, at least it's a start and he did get a sticker for trying Hope Abbey keeps up the good work and that you're soon diaper free __________________ Naomi Mum to Callum (DS) 3/03 and Kieran 8/04 Read all about us

I thought potty training was one milestone that would come much much later. But, I am counting my blessings on this. And definately encouraging her to keep up the great work. Congratulations to Matt for his job well done too! Abby was the same, would go great here, but at daycare, they would put her on the potty and nothing.
