Did I tell you how much Maggie loves to thumb through books. It doesn't matter if they are picture books, magazines or dictionaries, she just loves to turn pages. She doesn't have the patience to be read the words either, she just wants to get to the next page. When she gets to the back cover she thumbs backwards to the beginning again and again, back and forth. Sometimes she will pretend like she is reading the words as she flips the pages. The sight of it brings laughter tears!
Sara thinks I am crazy but every morning I put Maggie on her potty for a few minutes and hand her a book to flip through. She will sit there contently with her book in hand for five to ten minutes. It works to because every morning since we have been doing this she has been tinkling in the potty. It is a funny thing, the things you get excited about as a parent.
I'm way impressed you already have her trying out the potty everyday. That's so smart.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it the cutest to watch their chubby little fingers turn the pages. I love it.
I love it. I can just see her flipping through the pages of a book. And, it is funny things that get us excited as parents. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I am totally impressed she will sit on the potty that long :) And I LOVE that she reads a book while she does it. Smiles.
ReplyDeleteSeriously? She will pee in the potty?!? That's amazing. Also that she will just sit and read like that. Some kids are more into books than others.
ReplyDeletejust so you all know, she still wears diapers. I think Stanford puts her on the potty 3-4 times a day but she actually goes...it's pretty amazing.
ReplyDeleteI think it was Miriam who also LOVED to turn pages. She would thumb through anything and everything. Doctor's offices were her favorite places to go: so many magazines, so little time. :)
ReplyDeleteGood work putting her on the potty so often Stanford! I bet she'll be ready to be potty trained really early (like before 2). She is quite the girl!
