Princess Emily

Emily has successfully peed on her potty twice in the last 2 days. Last night, after Emily and Ally's bath, Emily was running around naked while Dave was dressing Ally. I was catching up on some laundry. Emily came running to Dave and yelling she had to pee. Dave told her to go sit on her potty and she disappeared. After having such a bad experience trying to potty train Emily, Dave and I didn't think much of this and we went on with our business. A couple of seconds later Emily came running out of the bathroom yelling to go look at her potty. Again, Dave and I really didn't think anything of this and I stayed put folding clothes while Dave humored Emily. Dave came running out of the bathroom telling me that Emily had really gone pee in her potty and that I needed to go look. Sure enough she had done it! We ran around yelling for a while to make a big deal of the situation and then we gave Em her M&Ms. It was very exciting to us that Emily approached us about it and actually went to the bathroom. Today, I was going to change Emily's diaper and I asked her if she wanted to try and poop on her potty. She said she didn't have to and I was kind of bummed because I thought she was over her potty. Then I asked if she wanted to try and pee on her potty and she said yes! Sure enough, a couple of seconds later, Emily reappears saying she did it! Now we know that Emily knows what it feels like to need to pee and even how to hold it in, considering she didn't just pee all over the floor last night. We told Emily we would take her to the park since she was doing such a good job but it was really humid today and looked like it was going to rain. Instead, we took her to Walmart and bought her a tiara kit as pictured above. I am not sure if she is going to want to continue trying to potty train, but at least it is a start.
