A Potty is Not a Train

This was too cute to keep to myself. Okay, I think I can officially say that Iva is potty trained! She has been doing absolutely great at telling us when she needs to go and she hasn't had any accidents in a little over a week! Praise the Lord! She is getting it!!

Anyway, I was just sitting at the computer and the kids were just put down for a nap. I hear footsteps coming and I look to see who it is. It's Iva and she has come to tell me that she needs to go potty :-) I get up right away and we head on into the bathroom and I get her all situated and walk away for a second. I come back to help her get all cleaned up and I praise her for being such a big girl and telling Mommy that she needed to go potty. She knows that she gets a treat whenever she tells us that she needs to go, so she promptly asked for some marshmallows. I told her that she would get her treat because she told me that she needed to go. I said to her, "You are doing so good! You are potty trained!" She looked up at me and said, "My potty isn't a train!" I wasn't sure I heard her correctly so I asked her to tell me what she said again and once again she said, "My potty isn't a train!" I thought that was so funny! I mean, what are the words potty and trained supposed to sound like to a 2 year old! She knows what a potty is and she knows what a train is and she knew that her potty wasn't a train! I bet she was thinking, what in the world is Mommy talking about!?! The potty is just a potty, not a train!

Anyway, like I said, I just had to share this because I knew it would make you smile :-) Iva is doing so well, and we couldn't be more proud of her! She is such a joy and we love her very much! Way to go Iva Dough! We love you!!

Happy Anniversary!!! How did you get Iva to start telling you when she needed to go potty? Did she just start doing it on her own?
