Grace has started saying "potty" and "pee poo", so we thought it might be time to buy a potty and start the introduction. She is physically not ready for potty training, but we wanted it to not be scary for her. So we bought the potty and thought we would let her get familiar with it.
When we brought it home, I asked if she wanted to go pee poo in the big girl potty. She said yes, took my finger and we went to the bathroom. We attempted the ritual, and obviously no luck.
Today we came home from the beach, and I thought I would try it again. We pulled up her dress, took off her diaper and she sat down. Immediately, she started to pee. Both she and I were stunned (by the look on her face, she more than me). Then she didn't know what to do. So we wiped, dumped and flushed. Very impressive...but now she seems scared to do it again. Have we ruined it for her?
