Potty Adventures, Part 4

This morning I got Tara up at 8:15, fed her breakfast and after breakfast she was dry. So I asked her if she wanted to go potty and she said, "yesh". So off we went and there she sat for a good 5 minutes, but no pee. I got her down put her diaper on her, by now its 9 am, and off she goes to play and sure enough she fills the diaper. So I change her and ask her if she wants to go potty and again she answers, "yesh". Again, no pee. This time I put some undies on her and send her on her way. About an hour later she comes to me and speaks her foreign language, I have no clue what she is saying but decide to ask if she needs to go potty. She answers, "YESH!" We get to the bathroom and as I start to pull her undies down I find a surprise, she had pooped in her undies. I get her cleaned up and sit her on the pot and there she sits but no pee. I get her down, put on a new pair of undies and off she goes, again. Later, its now about 12:30, we've had lunch and played and folded laundry and she still has not peed since the morning. I ask her if she wants to go, she replies "yesh", but no pee, we get down, run to the front room, where this time I sit down to get a diaper ready (she is going down for a nap). She runs to the corner of the room and sits and...pees. Yep. (Luckily it was on the tile floor) She stood up and looked down at her mess...she looked intrigued by this. I think she would have danced in it if I would have let her! I'm hoping this afternoon, after nap time, will go better. Just hoping for that one time where she pees IN the pot! Once she does that, I know she can get trained. Just gotta get her to pee in the pot so I can praise her! I know she is still young, so I don't want to force her, at least not yet. My boys didn't get potty trained until they were 3, that was my choice though, I chose to wait. So, if she needs to wait a little longer, I will, but I would love to have her trained by 2! We shall see!
Something other than pee...
Yesterday Jeff had off and so after he slept in we took the kiddos to the pool. It wasn't too hot out though so the water seemed extra chilly. We had so much fun, especially since we had the pool all to ourselves. Actually, I've never had to share it! Jeff took Tara in and at first she whined but with in a few minutes she was happy and splashing. Jeff put her on his back and swam around with her. She was so cute holding onto him with a huge smile! I wish I had my camera b/c that would have been a priceless picture! Josiah and Gaber had a great time being thrown in the water by daddy and doing all that fun pool stuff. :) I even braved the cold water and did a little swimming.
We are looking forward to this weekend, Jeff has a 4 day weekend and tomorrow we have a bbq at his work. The boys will get to see where daddy works and maybe even ride on some of the equipment. I'll try to get pictures and post them soon.
