Potty Time!

Lately Sadie has been exhibiting a lot of interest in the toilet! We got her a potty book a few weeks ago. She keeps it in the bathroom (with our magazines) and we read it at bath time or when we're getting ready. She loves to push the button on it that makes a flushing sound. We are not officially starting potty training (or attempting underwear), but we decided to go ahead and get her a potty seat and step stool (she also loves to wash her hands and brush her teeth.) Yesterday morning we went to Wal-Mart and I helped her pick a potty seat. She proudly held onto her potty seat during the duration of our shopping trip! This morning before church, I let her try it out:
We opted for the baseball seat as opposed to the pink princess one!

I tried to explain to Sadie that she didn't need to take her shirt off to sit on the potty, but she was VERY insistent!

"I'm a Big Girl!"... I was amazed to watch her rip off a square of toilet paper and wipe herself (although she did not go potty!) She then got down removed her potty seat and waved bye-bye to her toilet paper as she requested help to flush the potty.

Brushing her teeth with her new step stool.

So cute! At least she sits on it, even if she doesn't potty. Moses will only sit on the potty with the lid down...
I'm thinking I should follow what I've read and just wait until he's 3 (word of warning for the new little one-- a boy won't do things as quickly as Sadie :) )
