I can't believe it!!!!!!!

I'll get right to the point - NATALI POOPED IN THE POTTY TONIGHT!!!!!! I know that is kind of a crazy way to start a post, but I am thrilled! We have had the potty out for over a month, maybe 2 months and we let her sit on it every now and then and we talk about it all the time. About how she needs to make poo poo and pee pee in the potty and no more diper changes and so on and so forth. Natali hasn't showed a whole lot of interest but some and she is definetly, shall we say, prize motivated. :) Yes, I'll say "I'll give you something special Natali if you do....." and just about every time she will do it. I know it sounds bad to bribe your children but we only do it when necessary. SO Natali got a little plastic frog for going poo poo on the potty. She was happy. This is a scary part of parenting for me - potty training. I'm really not sure where to go from here and what do you do when you are out somewhere and she needs to go potty and there are only big potty chairs? Oh what things life brings when being a parent. More to come on the potty training.......

I saw this in a magazine we get, it is supposed to fold up really small to go into a purse when you are out:

Yeah for Natali. Buy a fold up portable potty seat that you put on top of a big toilet. That gives her more to sit on; plus it will be clean.

Jalee has never had any problems going on big potties in public restrooms. Oh, and if she likes candy, that can be a good motivation for her too. I gave Jalee one M&M for pee and 2 for poo-poo. Good luck and have fun!
