First Steps of Potty Training - 17 Months Old

Abbygale is in the very first steps of potty training.  Do I think she will be potty trained soon?  No, but she is starting to recognize and get the concept.  When she uses the bathroom in her diaper, she will now say "Poo Poo" and pat her butt or say "Abby Poo Poo."  She has done this a couple of times now.

Also, before and after Abby takes a bath I set her on the big girl potty.  She smiles so big and thinks it is just the coolest thing ever.  She will sit there a few seconds and then say "Done."  We clap and say "Yay Abby" even though she hasn't done anything.

At Nana's house when Mommy and Daddy are working, she will sit on the little potty in the bathroom that Colton uses.

These to me are the very first steps of potty training.  She is getting familiar with the process and learning the basic concept of using the big girl potty.

Good job Abbygale!  You are too smart for just being 17 months old!!
