Ally was playing with her pants Saturday. Rob asked her if she needed a new diaper. She walked over to the place I change her and laid down with her feet in the air. We took that as a "Yes" and Rob changed her. The diaper wasn't really wet, so we wondered why she cared, but went on with it anyway. 5 minutes later, she pooped. This means it's time to start potty-training.
I bought her a Potty-Elmo at Walmart. You give him a pretend drink. He tells you he has to go. Whether or not you get him to his potty, he (pretend) goes. Hooray if he makes it and "Maybe next time" if he doesn't. If you put him on the potty without giving him a drink, he sits and hums and says "Nothing's happening"
Ally loves him. She knows how to work him (mostly) and carries him around. She even sat still for a while on the potty with him. Keep your fingers crossed.
