Olivia uses the potty!

Ok so most of you are going to think we are crazy, but we are slowly beginning to potty train Olivia. She has gone poop a couple of times on the toilet with Mom being the one to recognize when it is time to go, but last night was a whole new story. Olivia was crawling over a very large item in her way to get to the bathroom. Andy asked her, “Olivia do you have to go poop?” She responded in a baby babel, “Yeah.” We both looked at each other like, “Did we hear that?” Then Andy asked her again, “Olivia do you have to go poop?” This time she said a bunch of nonsense then said, “Yeah Dadda.” Again we were both completely shocked but thought what the heck. So Andy took off her pants and diaper and had her sit on the toilet. Within a couple of minutes she went pee. We of course were both thrilled. Not that she is potty trained, but that we are moving in the right direction. We have been told that because we are using the cloth diapers she is able to recognize the fact that she is wet more often and therefore be more motivated to use the potty.

On a side note last week Andy and I also got to experience having a sick child for the first time. Poor little Olivia had a temp of 106 at the highest. Which caused great alarm for her parents, but the doctors did not seem nearly as worried. They did check her blood and urine, but were unable to find anything alarming. With 3 days she was back to her normal self. Thank goodness!
