Today was the first day of chuch that Adelle has been "potty trained". I guess I should give an udpate, potty training is going really really well. At home she initiates pottying all by herself. But when we go out.....thats a much wetter story. She's still scared of big pottys so I usually have to bribe her with chocolate and than sit her on my lap on the toilet. Oh yes, it can be done, NO pictures to follow.

The first time in the bathroom at church she didn't want to sit on my lap on the toilet. I had to coax her with my kind and reasuring words for all in the bathroom to hear:
*
Me: OK Adelle, come sit on my lap.
*
Adelle sits on lap willingly
*
Me: GOOD job Adelle! Now can you go pee pee?
Push, come on, try! Come on Adelle go pee pee, go pee pee go pee pee go pee pee
*
Adelle: pushing and grunting souds
*
PAUSE
*
tinkle tinkle

How can you not scream from the mountain tops for that? She MUST be praised! And then, because I wanted her to do it again and feel that wonderful PRIDE I felt I HAD to sing the "Pee Pee in the Potty" song which we usually do. Of course she sang back.

It's funny because I am sure everyone in the bathroom heard this wonderful process from babe to girl hood. If I been that someone in the bathroom listening to all of this I would have been grinning from ear to ear.

So why do I never get so lucky?
