Potty Training Time!


I think it's time!

Freedom will be two May 27th and is starting to show some interest in using the potty.
She has been randomly pulling her diaper off before she pees. When you catch her, and put it back on she pulls it off once she goes. Up until a few days ago, she was scared to sit on the toilet.
When Brye was a baby, we did elimination communication so I am trying to use those signals and cues with Freedom. The thing now is that she thinks that saying "Mommy, Potty, I peepee" is a game.

We went and bought her a cheap potty, so cheap the hinges already broke on the lid. We also bought some Gerber training pants.  They are the kind that are all cotton, but are more absorbent in the crotch.
I couldn't seem to find Brye's old ones, and thought Freedom might like her own. I am letting her wear those around the house and prefolds without a cover.
For now, she is content pretending to go potty and wiping herself.

Any tips for potty training a girl?
