Funny Potty Story

Emma has been doing really well with potty training at school. We haven't been as good at home and Kurt and I have decided to make a more concerted effort with her at home so that we don't end up with a kid that is potty trained at school but still wearing diapers at home when she's 4. Grandma got Emma a Dora the Explorer potty last summer and she has had intermittent interest in it. This weekend, we got her another one so that we would have one on each floor and hopefully have some more luck with potty training. Emma picked it out...it's pink.

Yesterday, we were in the bathroom and Emma kept popping up, turning around, and facing the potty. I kept telling her over and over (with increasing levels of exasperation in my voice) that she has to sit down to go potty when I finally realized that she was trying to pee standing up. She had the stance correct: pants around her ankles, hips thrust forward, and was even pulling at some skin. Apparently, she has been watching Daddy and the little boys at school a little too closely!
