If this isn't the cutest thing you've ever seen- then I just don't know what cute is!

Since her first birthday, we have added on to Minnette's nightly routine! That's right... every night before bed we sit Minnette on her potty and give her a treat at an attempt to encourage her to want to use it. Ok, we're not doing potty-training bootcamp or anything, we just have her sit on the potty for a couple minutes and cheer her on! My goal is to have her mostly (if not all the way... cross your fingers!!) potty-trained by 18 months. Hey, it's been done before! Why not??

This is Minnette clapping with us while we shout "Yay for sitting on the potty!" I don't think she really gets what's happening, but she thinks it is great!

Kyle is singing "If You're Happy and You Know It"... and she is clapping along. She loves it when we sing to her on the potty!

And this one must be of her contemplating just how great it is going to be when she is potty-trained in 6 months or so. Either that, or she must be thinking how silly her parents are for singing "Three Monkeys Swinging in a Tree" in the bathroom!
