Potty Training Success!

Well it seems that we have conquered the Potty Training trials! True success what achieved on Friday morning! After a week of half-hearted training...due to Aleah being quite ill, it seems that she doesn't need much guidance from me! Here's what happened:
Friday morning Dean was out early due to his first day of his new part-time job (details to follow). This left me to get the kids ready and off to school by myself. I also needed to get back quite quickly because I help run a Parent/Toddler playgroup Friday mornings as well. So...because all this was going on I wasn't going to bother with the whole 'big pants' fiasco. I put Aleah in a nappy (diaper) and headed out the door. We got the bus to school, and was rescued on the way home by Dean who had finished early. Then it was off to playgroup which runs from 10 -12. I hadn't even bothered to ask Aleah about the toilet but continued with the duties of the morning. After playgroup had finished we were tidying up and Aleah came running out of the church toilet saying 'Look Mommy, Leah did it!' When I looked she was carrying the potty - full of pee to show me. She had gone independently into the toilet taken off her trousers, and nappy and successfully used the toilet without my help! Her nappy was bone dry...she had been waiting all morning!!! AMAZING! My friend who was helping looked at me and said...'I think she's done it!'

Oh Hooray for Aleah!!! That's wonderful Kris. Perfect timing too since you'll be having one in diapers soon. :) I've had two in diapers and it's not the end of the world, but definately cheaper with diapering only one!!!
