Keeping It Dry

Date of occurrence:
July 18, 2012.

Our granddaughter is still in diapers, although she is close to her third birthday. I had been wondering if I should try potty-training her while she is here, but honestly, I didn't want to waste the precious little time we had on that daunting task.

I am starting to recognize the signs though when she has to go. This morning, she accompanied me while I was making the beds, when all of a sudden she told me her booty hurt. I knew what that meant: she had to do a no. 2 and I asked her if she wanted to try going on the potty.

She got all excited, ran to the bathroom and before I knew it, was already taking off her diaper. After sitting down, she had no problem whatsoever doing her duty.

She was so tickled when I praised her profusely and told her how proud I was of her. She even didn't want to wear a diaper anymore.

Okay, we were going to see how it went and it went beyond expectation, because a few seconds later she had to meet with Mr. Potty again for a no. 1 this time.

After telling her what a big girl she is, she walks into the living room, stops in front of her brothers and proudly announces: "Hey, guys. I peed on the potty!"

She had more reason to be proud; she kept it dry all day!
