Doing the Potty Dance

Myann pee'd in the potty today...twice...or so I was told. On the way to preschool today we had a long conversation about her being a big girl and using the potty. I even put her in a pull up which I had given up on months ago. She has been taking off her diapers every chance she gets and complaining about them hurting her, so I thought she was showing signs that she was finally ready. Well, she is all about no diaper, but has no problems peeing all over the house too. I am just not in the right state of mind for that right now. Also, Myann does not like to even sit on the potty. Shane used to sit on the potty for an hour. He was only allowed to watch tv if he sat on the potty, so he would sit there all day if I let him. Bottom line was that he got used to using the potty and had no problems peeing on the potty. Myann will gladly sit on the potty and announce that she pee'd and wanted her treat, and then hops off with nothing to show of. We do this countless times per day and often in public. Despite getting really annoyed, I feel that I must indulge her an go through the motions. We have been going through the emotions for months. But today, she did it. Again, or so was told. I am not 100% sure she went or if she just told her teachers she went and they believed. Because I need to feel we are progressing, I am going to choose to believe she pee'd in the potty. And to tell you how awesome their preschool is...when she pee'd they went and got Shane out of his classroom (on the other end of the school) and brought him back to her classroom to congratulate her on using the potty. Shane was so proud of her and was more excited to tell me about it when they got home than Myann was herself. I am pretty pumped and hope that we continue this success tomorrow.
