So, I have been noticing lately that Lily is constantly telling me that she has pooped or peed or tooted or is dry (if she hasn’t pooped I tell her, no, you didn’t poop, and then she decides she has peed, etc). She is also fascinated with the toilet and is very proud whenever we let her flush the toilet. So, I decided that I would let her sit on the toilet periodically so she can get used to it, but also just to see what she will do.
The first few times I did this it was because I had noticed that at nap time she would have a poop and that would ruin her nap. So, I thought if I tried to get her to poop on the toilet then she might be able to get a better rest. This did not work, she was happy to sit but and try to poop. Then the nap time poops seemed to stop for a bit, so toilet time went away with it.
On Wednesday, it happened again. I put her in bed, she laid nicely, and then all of a sudden she was wide awake and playing. When I went to check on her she had had a poop So, on Thursday I decided I would try toilet time again before her nap. She was very excited when I asked if she wanted to sit on the toilet. She sat, and she seemed to try, and she even tinkled a bit! Since then, she has sat on the toilet many times, and has peed two more times!
I honestly never thought would do anything on the toilet, I just wanted her to get used to it so that when the time came she wouldn’t be afraid of it.
