The last couple of months I have been prepping Clarissa for Potty training by talking about it quite often with her. Abby has been very helpful and encouraging to Clarissa also.
About two weeks ago Clarissa decided she was ready to sit on the potty. I was a little alarmed since I usually wait for my kids to be very close to 3 when I actually move beyond the talking stage. I have found if I do that then it is usually a very quick and relatively painless process for all of us. I figured I'd better go ahead and let her since up till then she had expressed a lot of fear of falling in. (I don't use small potty chairs etc.) She was very brave and now she is an old pro. She has never actually "gone" potty but she loves to sit on it. Abby would tell her "Rissa do you want to go potty?" and we would be in there again.
Abby must have heard me talking about "potty training" with Phil or other friends because she started saying "Rissa, do you remember the potty train?" Now Clarissa comes to me all the time and says "Mommy, I want to sit on the potty train". It makes me laugh every time!
So I guess it will be worth the extra work and time from starting her early, just to have Abby be so encouraging and Clarissa so excited about the "potty train"!
