Potty training and speech development continues ...

Note: Ava's sentences are her own; no extra words nor grammar edits have been made.


Last night, it was time for bed and Daddy had already taken Ava upstairs... then I hear:

Ava: Daddy, I need to do coco.
Daddy: Did you already do coco or do you need to do coco?
Ava: I need to.
Daddy: Do you want to go in the big potty or your potty?

Ava took off running to go downstairs and was able to hold it until getting to her potty to go to the bathroom! 

It's amazing the things that we get excited about these days ... We've been leaving the potty training up to her.  If she wants to use her potty, all she has to do is ask.  It's a little too challenging for Mommy & Daddy to be overly proactive about it. :)

After Ava was done with the potty, she came to the TV room to tell me that she did coco in the potty and was super proud. And forget going to bed, she wanted to sit next to me on the couch and hang out. When Daddy asked her if she was ready to go to bed, this is the conversation that ensued...

Daddy: Are you ready to go to bed?
Ava: No
Daddy: Do you want your milk? We left it upstairs.  Come with Daddy to go get your milk.
Ava: Daddy, go get my milk. I want to wait here with Mommy.
Daddy: Don't you want to come with me to get your milk?
Ava: No, Ava wants to stay downstairs with Mommy. Daddy, go upstairs and get Ava's milk.

Haha! Not much point in arguing with her after that!  The kid knows what she wants, and has no problem communicating it.  Daddy went upstairs and got her milk...such an obedient Daddy...
