Potty chair

After reading a gazillion potty chair reviews online and asking Erika for advice, I settled on this simple, two-piece potty made by Baby Bjorn. It was hard to resist the "fun" ones that were colorful and played what would become very annoying music, but I really rely on these reviews from real-life moms. Judging by their opinions, this one is the one to get. I also had to resist getting the hot pink one...if we have a son someday, he doesn't need to be peeing in a pink potty.

I, more or less, wanted to get one because Ayla has been showing interest in it--she sees me sitting on the toilet, she watches Elmo go potty on T.V., and she often will tell me when she's going "poo-poo". I wasn't sure if I wanted to dive into this 100% since I think she may be a little young for it. I figured I'd just get one and let her give it a try...especially since I'll be home with her for the next few weeks.

I put her on it when we got home from Target. Nothing. Ten minutes later, I took her in again and after a minute or two, she peed! I was so excited...she looked at me all wide-eyed like I was completely nuts. Before Dean gave her a bath, he plopped her on it and she went again. It could just be luck that she has gone in it...but still exciting, nonetheless. :)
