My two year old daughter is a genius and probably doesn't even need me

Last week I saw a training potty on amazon.com for super cheap.


^This one

The wife and I had been wanting to try potty training since after Christmas but had heard it is difficult and takes a while. We had a 2 week vacation planned that would make it hard to train so we decided to put it off till we got back at the beginning of February.

I am a sucker for a good deal and thought, "What the heck, worst case scenario is this thing sits around the house for a while before we decide to use it, so I placed my order. It arrived today (ordered with amazon prime shipping but had to wait out a 3 day weekend) and didnt get home until about 7:30pm.

 We ate dinner and I took care of moving some furniture in our room for a new bed we are having delivered tomorrow. Yep, the same bed I mentioned we were purchasing in my last post, "How I embarrassed my wife buying a bed". Then I got to open all the packages that arrived in the mail today. There was a total of four, One of which was my daughters new potty! My wife was busy getting my daughter ready for bed. I brought it upstairs and set it on the floor in our room, my daughter and wife came in soon after.

My little one immediately became interested in it, she walked around it and even sat down on it. After she was done looking at it I found the perfect spot for it in the bathroom we giver her baths in. Before bed we decided to ask her if she needed to go potty and if she would like to give it a try. She said, "Yes, I going to go potty!" So i got her diaper and pants pulled down and sat her on the potty. She sat there for a couple minute and with nothing happening my wife and I were ready to call it quits so we asked her if she was done and she told us,"NO!" So we let her sit a little while longer, in just a few more seconds she started to pee! A pee the very first time, and she even knew to tell us when she was done.

So basically if it was up to my wife and I it would have been failure on the first try, but our daughter showed us who was boss and took things into her own hands before we could screw it up. Basically we suck and are just lucky she puts up with our adult buffoonery.
