Potty Time!

For the last several months we've been introducing Izzy to the potty; what it is, where it is and what we do there. She has been going to the bathroom with MeeMaw, YaYa and myself of course and I try to get her to sit on the potty when she goes with me. More than anything we've been talking with her about recognizing her bodily functions. However, she wasn't ready before summer camp started (which was 9 weeks ago-yeah-only 1 more to go) and with camp going on I haven't had the time to commit to training her. I had actually decided I would train her in a couple of weeks when camp was over. As the weeks have flown by though, she has gained a better understanding of pee-pee & poopy and can communicate better to us about pottying. So, Monday night we were in the den playing and Izzy just stopped, put her toys down and said "pee-pee, pee-pee" and went walking, very determinately down the hallway to bathroom. Clark ran quickly after her and asked her did she want to use the potty and she started pulling her pants down, so Daddy assisted and took her diaper off, she sat down and pee-peed in the potty!!! Yeah Izzy! I think what's funny is my child pretty much potty-trained herself. What more could a mommy ask for?
A couple of pics, just for fun :)
