Okay, so for the past little while, Matt and I have been trying to expose Maëlle to the potty. Not in a real concentrated effort to train her yet, just introducing her to it and helping her not be afraid. She took a real interest, and I taught her the sign for potty, and would use it when I needed to go, or before her bath, just whenever. She caught on right away, so we decided to get her a little seat that fits over the big potty. She loves it. The real exciting/amazing/holy cow, you are getting SO big thing, is that the other day she was winding down for her nap, and she signed to me "potty." I asked if she need to go, she nodded yes, and so I took her to the potty. I wasn't expecting much, sometimes she just likes to see the water and flush, however, you can imagine my surprise when, once she was properly seated on her throne, she grunted, pooped and then peed! I was astounded and super excited, and so was she. She literally did a fist pump and giggled like crazy. Then she waved bye-bye to her 'accomplishments' and we flushed. Don't get me wrong, we are still a ways from being trained, but hey, give the girl credit. She did pretty dang good. :)
