On Wednesday, Avery was playing and going about her morning business. That's when she walked up to me, out of the blue, and said, "Potty?" Now we've haven't been actively potty training her. We tried a few months ago, but she wasn't ready, so we gave it a rest and are waiting for her to show more interest. So I asked her, "Do you need to go potty?" And she ran to the bathroom door! I laughed, thinking all she wanted to do was play, but decided to encourage the enthusiasm. So we went in, she opened her potty, I helped her out of her pants and diaper, and she sat on her potty. She's used to doing this because she likes to sit on it before and after baths when she's naked. I sat on the regular toilet and waited for her, even turned on the faucet so it dripped a little to encourage her. Eventually, she got up, and to my surprise, she had peed in her potty! I don't think I showed the proper enthusiasm because I was SHOCKED that she had done it! I showed her how to wipe and she helped me flush the toilet. Then we washed our hands together. :) I was so proud of her! This came out of nowhere!! :D Then, to my surprise, when Michael and I got home from our doctor's appointment that day, my mom told me that she had done it again! She hasn't done it since, but I'm still impressed! Maybe potty training won't be so hard after all! ;)
