Little Miss Independent

We have been sitting Miss Lillian on the potty when she gets up in the morning. On Sunday, she went ALL BY HERSELF. No help pulling down her pajama shorts (she usually runs around with no panties in the morning), no help getting on the step stool, no help putting her potty seat on the toilet, no help sitting on the potty, no help wiping, no help getting down, no help flushing and no help pulling up her pajama shorts.

Joe had gotten her up that day and when he said it was time to potty, she told she would do it all by herself. She has done it a few more times since then but she seems to have some trouble with pulling her panties down.

And Lillian is finally using the big big potty (the regular potty) when we are out in public. I got tired of carrying around the travel folding potty seat so when she used the big potty on vacation, I used it as a bargaining chip. She liked a backpack she saw at a bookstore so I told her if she started using the big big potty, she could get a backpack. She did it for a week and she picked out her backpack last night and I ordered for her. The past two days , I have been able to leave the house with the small sling backpack that I love! Now if only bribery worked that easy for the pacifier!
