Potty Training

Potty training time really hasn't begun in the Arnold household. Rebekah had a week in January where she wanted to sit on the potty, but since then hasn't even wanted to try. She totally understands what to do and she really understands the incentives we have been offering (various candy and ice cream). Today I even told her that after we say bye-bye diapers, she can go to Build a Bear and pick out her favorite bear (she just discovered this store in the mall and we walked in and looked around). She has even started requesting diaper changes after pooping in her diaper...but still shows no signs of wanting to try. She even loves cheering on her good friend Elise Erwin who has been potty trained now for months--go Elise!!

So today, Lydia at 16 months carried the potty seat out of the bathroom and brought it to me. I asked if she wanted to sit on it and she nodded. She was loving it and then Eve wanted in on it too. Who knows, maybe Eve and Lydia will beat Rebekah in the potty training. Enjoy these great pictures of some proud little girls...they did sit on the potty, but we are still waiting for any action to occur! We had a repeat of this afternoon potty adventure after baths tonight, we had to pull the girls away from the potty.
