Potty Training
(Still no sign of our camera. Sorry for the lack of pictures lately.)
Since I am at home this month during the day, we decided to try to start potty training Ava. Two day ago we got a toilet-seat attachment called "Cushie-Tooshie" so that Ava can plant her little butt on there without going for a swim. Since then we've been putting her on the toilet several times a day. The problem is, I don't think she knows what she's supposed to do when she sits on the toilet.
She has picked up a couple things just from observations she has made. After sitting down she gets some toilet paper (sometimes yards at a time). Then she stuffs it in-between her legs and drops it in the toilet. She did all of this without prompting on her first time on the toilet. The only problem is, she doesn't accomplish the main objective of using the toilet. She number zero's (neither number one or number two) every time we try.
She knows what "poopy" is, but I don't think she gets what "pee" is. Since she pees 4-5 times more often than she poops, it would be great if we could ask her to pee and get through to her. Instead she just sits there smiling and looking cute as ever. Hopefully she'll start to not only like going TO the potty, but actually GOING potty soon.

Good luck with that one!! We thought Lucas was starting to show interest in the idea, but we think maybe having a new sister set things back a bit. Hopefully (now that he has a Sesame Street potty seat and book) he will be interested again soon. We're tired of having 2 kids in diapers!
