Big girl

Big girl has started potty training! And it's absolute fun. The first time she peed on our carpet while running around our living room, and I tried to catch the last drops in the potty and also did not forget to applaud! The second time Lia held the potty up to her legs while standing, as she was convinced that this is the way it should be. So I got her a book about 'Big Girl Potty' who actually sits and reads books while waiting for her pee and poop to miraculously appear. And now Lia reads a ton of books while sitting on her potty, and usually pees on the carpet when getting up to fetch the next book (I'm kind of glad we're soon leaving this apartment. If the next tenants ask about the smell, we'll tell them that we had an untrained puppy). But Lia is actually getting the hang of it! We already had a couple of very successful moments that did not include the carpet. Of course it will take a while before Lia is fully 'potty trained'. It's more of a game now, a reading game that might allow her to attend school before being able to pee on command.There is no stress, and it's Lia who decides when to go potty and for how long to read her books on it or collect her bows in it. And in case she pees on her bows, there will totally be standing ovations!
