Sometime over the last week, my sweet baby girl just decided to pottytrain herself. After the success we had on her little potty chair the other day, I decided to go out and buy a little seat you can just stick right on top of a normal toilet. This is because cleaning poop out of a potty chair is disgusting. Rancid. It instantly makes me want to vomit. I'd much rather change a poopy diaper. 20 poopy diapers even.
So, she went with me to purchase the little seat - and whined all the way to the check-out stand. She didn't want it! Noooooooo! Then all the way to the car. Then all the way home. Then all the way to the bathroom. Then I sat her on the seat, and she used it. And has been in love with it ever since. That very day, she started making these strange announcements:
"I have to go pee-pee/poo-poo now."
And upstairs she would go. She'd get her stepstool, and her potty seat. Put the little seat on the toilet, step up on the stepstool, turn around, sit down and do her business. Just like that. Just like that!!! And ever since the day I bought this little potty seat, I have not changed one diaper. She is even going out in public in her big-girl underwear. Just like that!!!!!!!!
Do you all understand that I heard stories like this about other children, but because of what I went through pottytraining Andrew, I just figured people were lying to make their children look good? And then my daughter decides to prove me wrong, by being one of those "stories." I've never been so happy to be wrong in my entire life. I love being wrong. Being wrong feels so GOOD!

Yay for potty seats! What a relief it must be. I started potty training Ayla this past weekend and she now thinks it's a place for her to "get away" and read her books and brush her teeth!
I am SO happy for you! Check that off your list, it is done. We also used the seat on the potty, my son called it his "goilet geet".
Wow, last time I was here you gave yourself a very fancy title, now you are going to have to come up with a new one. How's this:
