Kaila's First Potty!!

So today we bought Kaila a potty trainer toilet. We thought we'd might as well start potty training her slowly, with the new baby coming. As soon as we got home, we opened it and set it up. She thought it was another toy, so we put it in the bathroom and told her that it's not a toy and that it's for going potty. We let her try it out, so she knows what we're talking about. Kaui sat on the big toilet, kind of demonstrating what Kaila's supposed to do. Kaila sat on her potty and we kept encouraging her to go "shi-shi" and "pee-pee." The next thing we know, Kaila did in fact go shi-shi!! We got excited! Kaui then showed her the rest of the steps, like wiping and washing hands. We showed her the pee in her potty and praised her for it, then showed her where it was supposed to go: in the toilet finished with a flush.

Sitting on the potty. Happy she went shi-shi!

We'd never thought we'd be so happy to see a few drops of urine

It's a start. We're taking it slow, still doing some research on the best ways to get toddler's potty trained. But at least she did it!
