The potty. Dun, dun, DUN!

A couple of months ago, Ellie started telling me she wanted to "poop on potty". She'd get pretty serious about it, so I started plopping her up on the toilet. She was totally amused, and has been consistently asking for this since. I asked her dr. at her 18 month check up about it, and he said with as much as she seems to understand, we should try to nurture it while she's so interested. And so, we purchased a small seat to fit on our existing toilet, and Ellie will hang there from time to time. 

Interestingly, the peeing on the potty seems more of a difficult concept for her, but what I'm realizing is that when she feels her tummy do anything (grumble, churn, gas, etc), she thinks it's time to "poop on potty". Thus, we have yet to actually experience any pooping on the potty. 

I'm certainly not going to push it - she's not even 2 - but it's been pretty entertaining, and I'm hoping maybe this means it won't be as tough as it could be? Maybe? We'll see.
She sure does love her some potty time, though. And it still seems so crazy to me that my baby is capable of sitting on the potty! Getting big, this one.
