Potty Time

No, I'm not posting photos of Ellison relieving herself. She is fully clothed in all these shots...
I was on the telephone when I glimpsed Elli dragging her new potty out of the bathroom. She sat on it, then pretended to wipe her hiney. She's never done this before, so I found it so cute! We're not really potty-training yet, we just have it for Ellison to get used to seeing, and in case she's interested. She thinks it's a cool piece of furniture most of the time and wants to bring it into the living room. The first time she excitedly was introduced to it, she was eager to sit on it (without a diaper) for about 10 seconds until she'd stand up and say, "All done", then I'd replace the diaper - no, wait - I'd wrestle the diaper back onto her, only to have her want it off again to sit on the potty. After about 5 or 6 cycles of this with sweat forming on my brow, I decided we didn't need to concentrate on this milestone quite yet. :)
