Zoe's first successful potty

Zoe's current favorite book is A potty for Me, which I have gotten tired of reading, but chloe can't get enough of. We didn't really think she understood very much of it, but then she started ripping off her diaper, like the child in the book, so Zoe and I went potty shopping last weekend.

I pulled them all off the chelves and had her sit in each one (no Jackass style shanigans -- she kept her diapers on!) and then choose one. I put the Chosen Potty in the cart, and she started frantically saying "THAT THAT THAT" and pointing to the potty, so I gave it to her

which also did not seem to satisfy her. It turned out that she wanted to have the potty in the cart with her sitting on it.

Anyway, from time to time since then she has had a seat on the potty, but since we just bought it, we hadn't given much thought to how we were going to train her. Tonight we were getting her ready for a bath, when she sat down daintily on the potty, smiled, then grimaced, and peed in her potty.

We are very proud of her
