As I wrote before, I purchased Juliana's first potty not too long ago. We've been sitting her there to read some books and now she goes to sit there on her own to read as well. We also have a DVD called, "Go Potty Go!" that she adores and seems to be helping her catch on to some of the potty training. Today, we played the video, pulled out the potty and let her sit there for a bit. She was relaxing, watching the DVD and after a little bit, got up and turned around. She had peed in the potty and was obviously looking forward to showing it to us!! Yes, we made a BIG deal about it, praised her and even brought her to the toilet to flush it down and wash her hands. She was smiling the whole time and it was amazing to watch. Only the very first baby step in the whole potty training process, but it just gives us one more reason to see how amazing she truly is.
After all of the commotion over the potty, we decided to try some finger painting with pudding I had made this morning...a little tip I learned from a friend to avoid her trying to put the actual finger paints in her mouth. It took a couple of minutes to warm her up to the idea, but once she was into it, the mess began! I was smart enough to remove her shirt and thank God that I did. The pudding was all over her face, arms, hands and some even made it to the paper. She actually enjoyed the taste of it too and tried feeding us some!
The final product...
After came the big clean up in the tub and her cute little face peaking down for where daddy's voice was coming from...
And just to share a few pictures from yet another trip to the water playground from the other day. Juliana seemed to enjoy it even more this time!
