Welcome to the Cutforth Family Blog. This blog provides insight into the lives of Dave, Shawnna and Kaitlyn Cutforth. Of course, since Kaitlyn is the newest (and cutest) member of our family, most of the focus is on her development and the fun things we do as parents.

Kaitlyn's First Potty in the Toilet

Kaitlyn is now 21 months old and hit a major milestone today; she went potty in the toilet for the first time! Her "firsts" are getting few and far between, but this is a big one. Here's the email we received from Michelle (babysitter) today:

So, your little daughter peed twice on the potty today. I went to change her diaper and she was not very wet and I asked do you have to pee? She pointed towards the bathroom and said "potty". I figured I would give it a shot. I sat her on the potty and after a few seconds...she peed! She peed a little, stopped, then a little more and then a little more. It was cute! Then we flushed and washed her hands. I gave her a miniature marshmallow as a reward.

After lunch, before nap, her diaper was a little wet but, I sat her on the potty anyhow. Then she peed! She was so excited! And very excited to get another little marshmallow! It was cute!
We went out to dinner with some friends tonight and Kaitlyn used the potty there, too. It's a good day!
