Two Times Today

It has been a few days since Heidi has tried to use her potty chair. I have stopped asking her if she needs to use it because she has just been telling me no lately.

This morning when she woke up, her diaper was dry (as it usually is when she wakes up anymore) and she told me "Potty Mommy, potty." So I brought her into the bathroom and she sat down on the potty and went pee pee! We sang our Pee Pee on the Potty song and she got a treat (Nemo gummi snack).

Later on today, she had watched Pocahontas (again... she has been watching it EVERY DAY). She gets kind of sad at the end when John Smith is going back to London on his ship and Pocahontas is left waving goodbye to him on the land. She usually waves and blows kisses to the characters in the movie... like she is actually there saying goodbye with them.

During her movie today, I asked her a few times if she needed to use the potty, but she always just said "No, Pocahontas." I just don't think she wanted to leave her movie. She sits and really watches it!

Finally, after her movie had ended... I asked her if she needed to go potty again. She just said "No, Donald." I guess now she wanted me to put Donald Duck cartoons in for her to watch. I thought one movie was enough, but I knew she would probably mostly play during Donald Duck, so I put it on for her and I had an idea... I thought maybe if I brought her potty chair out into the living room, she wouldn't have to leave her show and maybe she would go potty.

So, I brought her potty chair into the living room and didn't say anything to her about it. She went right over to it, pulled her diaper off, sat down, and then she went pee! We did our potty song again... and this time she got a chocolate Hershey's kiss as a reward!
