Potty training

Cricket has always been really amazing and weaning herself from things. She weaned herself off her binky at 6 months and never looked back. She threw it on the floor, and never wanted it again.

At a 12 months she no longer wanted her bottle. I was worried because she was quite attached to it, but one day she threw it, picked up a sippy and has never wanted one again. Same thing happened with the transition from formula to milk. It was not a weaning process.

I have been waiting for something horrible to happen since she has decided all these things herself, some habit that she just can't break.

Well, we bought her a little potty a bit ago from Ikea ($4 people) and one day she decided she was going to use it. And she hasn't looked back. Did I mention she is 18 months old? And she pees, and poops in the potty? Everyday?

My mom said that since she has been staying there (we are on week three) she has only had to change one poopy diaper. Yep, just one. That's my kid. And she tells you that she has to go pee or poo poo.

My child is amazing. I can't believe how she just raises herself!

It will be interesting to see how little man turns out...

Anyway, I got an email from my Mom today, made me laugh so hard, so I thought I would share part of it:
I wish you could have seen what I just saw. I laughed until I cried! It reminded me of another little girl. She was sitting on the potty. I think she likes the pants she has on today. The navy blue ones with the colored dots. "Cute!" Anyway, She was sitting on the potty and tried to put the pants on herself. It was so cute! But we did manage to get them on, after the diaper!
Love,
Mom
