It's Potty Time


 Be it accident. Be it on purpose.  This little girl sat down and went potty on the big girls' potty this past weekend.  Either way, it's a great start. Woo Hoo! 

 There's a good story behind this monumental event.  We've been working with Reesing on sitting on the potty, but she is still very convinced that the only way she can go potty is by lifting her shirt up (exposing her cute little belly), hips sticking out front and  swaying back and forth, such as her brother does (minus the penis).   She spends so much time around dad and myself that she thinks she's part of the "standing" crew.  So, this past Saturday Reesing starts pulling her shirt up (exposing her belly) while at the same time trying to open the door to the backyard, where the boys sometimes go pee.  Mom recognized this sign and so she grabs her hand and walks her to the little girl's potty and holy cow....she sat down and went potty. After going potty on the big girl's potty she still had to complete the routine by going out in the backyard, pulling her shirt up over her belly and taking "the stance" while swaying back and forth for a few seconds.  Her process was then complete. She's a little confused right now, but hopefully she'll figure out that she is a girl and is missing a crucial part that excludes her from the "standing crew."
