We've been talking about the potty for awhile now. Mostly talk, nothing else. Kizzy did go on the potty once, but that was months ago. Today, quite randomly Kizzy wanted to sit on the potty while watching her "Elmo's Potty Time" movie. She was getting very excited about going potty and refused to let me put a new diaper on her while dressing. So with some trepidation I put Minnie Mouse underwear on her. We talked about how Minnie doesn't like to get wet and so if she needs to go peepee, she needs to go on the potty. Well, the first time she needed to go, she stripped of her underwear and went running and climbed into the bathtub where she promptly peed. Thankfully it wasn't on the carpet. And now I know that she knows when she needs to go. The next time she needed to go she just started yelling "UHOH UHOH UHOH!" we weren't near her special potty so I took her to the closest bathroom and held her on the big potty. It scared the crap out of her, only not literally. She would not go until I lifted her down and then she went on the floor. Right now she is napping, in a diaper, but we're going to keep trying. She was very upset when I took her Minnie Mouse off. We'll keep at it for the rest of the day and see how it goes. If she keeps showing interest in trying, who knows, maybe this is it!

Good luck. I've tried holding Ivy over the toilet when she starts pooping in the tub, but there's just something about being held over a big open hole that scare them. At least Kizzy peed in the tub--Ivy pees on the bath mat when we take her out of the tub.
