She's still Pampered

Sometime during the past couple of weeks KK has started to announce when she has dirtied her diaper. It doesn't bother her if she's dirty, she just matter-of-factly says "poop" when appropriate. Last night Daddy also taught her to say "potty" (so far she hasn't used this one in context of herself, just says it when she points at the toilet). So, I thought I should try to take advantage of her ability to recognize at least one of her own functions and buy her a seat for the big potty. As we got it set up, I talked to her excitedly about it, and she seemed interested. So I undressed her for her bath, and sat her on it. She HATED IT!!! She clung to me for dear life, screaming and crying her eyes out the entire time.

I guess she's just not ready for this step yet, which I think is normal considering she's so young. And honestly I don't think I am ready either. Sprinting across a restaurant, mall, airport, whatever, to get to a bathroom isn't something I'm in a hurry to do. So, we'll try again later. For now, we'll simply admire this lovely new piece of furniture. : )
