We had a great potty-training breakthrough over the weekend. Up until now, Eva has had a prejudice against “foreign” potties (any toilet other than the one at home), afraid she might fall in, I guess. I’ve kept a padded toddler-sized potty seat in the car to put over any toilet, but up until now she refused to use it. But Grandma’s house put her in a big dilemma: she didn’t want to go in her training pants, and mommy wouldn’t “go home” so she could go potty there. I brought out the padded seat and put her on it. She protested and cried, but finally used it. Hooray! She got cheers and high-fives, and a cookie for being such a big girl. From then on she went around saying “No go home, go potty. Eva use Grandma’s potty!” On the drive home several days later, she had another breakthrough by finally agreeing to use the public restroom at the mall (with the small padded seat, of course). We’ve finally cleared another potty-training hurdle!
