Potty Training- kind of

(while changing Mckaley's diaper) 
Me: Wait, Mckaley, do you have to go Potty?
Mckaley: (smiles) Ya, poopies in the potty
Me: Okay, lets go
(take her to the toilet, where she proceeds to pee outside of the toilet.  Yes she was sitting down.  Yes she's a girl.  No, I'm not quite sure how she managed it)
Mckaley: uh-oh
Me: That's okay-you are doing a great job!  Way to go!  I'll wait until you are all done
Mckaley: I done
Me: You're sure?  No poo-poos?
Mckaley: No, bag of num nums (M&Ms) peeease!?
Me: No, you only get them if you say "mommy daddy I have to go potty" and then we will run you to the potty.  Then when you go in the potty you get num-nums
Mckaley: ok I do dat.  
Me: Okay we will try again.  So you understand that there are no more poo poos in the diaper. Mommy only wants to see them in the toilet.  Understand?
Mckaley: Ya! No more diapers, then me get num-nums
Me: Right
(put her diaper back on, go out back to play, 1 minute later)
Mckaley: (screaming) Mommy daddy me go poo poo in me diaper!!! Yay!!! Num nums!!!
Me: (thinking) she really doesn't get this does she???????

so funny! It definitely takes awhile, I don't buy the "potty train in one day." James is potty trained pretty well now but it took many pairs of dirty underwear to get it right! yuck!

Keep working at it Mckaley!!

THAT IS AWESOME! What a great memory to keep for her. She is going to kill you when she is older! Now if you just would have had a picture of her on the toilet!
