Kayleigh Used the Potty

Lately, I have been thinking about potty training Kayleigh. I made a deal with John that when Zeb started to sleep through the night I would start. We need to get one child out of diapers so we can start saving a little money! So, I got a potty from a friend and placed it in the bathroom. I have been talking this potty up a lot. I have no idea what I am doing so I have been waiting to get a book on potty training from a friend. The other day Kayleigh looked at me and said "Mommy I pee pee in the potty". She was jumping up and down so I thought I would give it a shot. I took off her diaper and she ran into the bathroom and actually pee peed in the potty! I was so shocked. I gave her an M&M for a reward. I haven't hit the potty training hard core yet because we have had to go somewhere most days this week but I am hoping that this is a sign that the potty training will go smoothly!

Pee Pee?!

My dad made it a tradition to give Kayleigh a Hershey's kiss everyday while we were in Thailand. One day she looked at him and said "Pa-Pa pee pee". Of course we had no idea what she was asking for. Eventually after asking many questions we finally figured out that she was referring to the kisses that my dad gave her everyday. I wondered if she would ever really refer to pee pee as the right thing. Yesterday our helper was in the bathroom and Kayleigh came up to me and said "Mommy A yi pee pee"! She finally understands that it using the bathroom. However, right after she said it she did refer back to her Pa-Pa giving her kisses! Above is a picture of my dad with her in Thailand. They are at a swing set that she loved to play on everyday.
