Guess What We're Starting?

Yes, it's that time again. The little potty has come out of the closet and has found its way to the living room floor. Laurie has no problem wanting to sit on it, but she has yet to put anything in the potty. We're waiting for that Aha! moment when she gets its purpose.
The cutest thing is that Ashley is really working with her on it. This morning, I came into the room and Ashley had taken Laurie's diaper off and had her sitting there in her nightgown. She didn't go, but there was Ashley talking to her like a little Mommy.
About mid-morning, Daniel had taken her diaper off and was encouraging her to go on the potty while they were watching Dora. They're both really getting into it. Hopefully, Laurie will catch the excitement. If not yet, then she'll get it once she finds out what she gets when she puts something in the potty. (We've always given little marshmellows for #1 and a dum-dum for #2).
We've taken the first step, so I guess we are on our way. The end of diapers is finally in sight!
