Piddles in the potty!!

Tuesday night, after her bath and during nakey time, Emma went piddles in her potty!!! We haven't officially done any training, but we've had the two potties out on the floor for a couple of weeks now. She sat on the potty and I reminded her that if she needed to go pee-pee she could go in her potty. She quickly got up and went back to her toy, and when my back was turned a moment later, I heard the potty playing it's reward music... I turned around completely expecting to see her pushing the button or standing in the potty to activate the music, but sure enough she was sitting down on it... and PEEING!! We were so excited for her!!! She loved all the praise and excitement, and showed us several times how to empty the pot into the big potty and flush, it was so cute! I'm sure it was a totally random coincident that she actually did it, but hey, I think we'll take it as progress ahead of the game! :)

We also had a nice visit from Nana and Tutz on Monday- they came down for lunch and got to visit with Emma Kate until her naptime. They brought along a great little playhouse with a slide, and a turtle sandbox! She's gotten a lot of fun out of the slide- she goes down by herself and can climb up it (if she has enough friction!) She's had a good time looking out the top like she's so proud to be up so high! She's also coming around to the idea of sand... she loves to play in the sandbox, sitting on the side, with her bare feet in the sand. She will fill up a bucket using her shovel, and she will kick off the sand when Mommy buries her toes! She gets so excited at Kroger now when we pass by the turtle sand boxes at the door, "just like hers at home!" Hopefully this will help warm her up to the idea of playing in the sand at the beach... or maybe even just walking in the sand would be sufficient- she's getting heavy! :)
