Potty Time

Exactly one month ago we started potty training at our house! This was about our third attempt. For one reason or another we just gave up in past tries. This time we were determined that this would be the time it worked. I really wasn't interested in buying diapers for two little ones.

In past attempts I would say that she was toilet trained but would never tell us when she had to go. The liquid waste seemed to happen right away but, the solid waste took about two weeks to accomplish. AND that just seemed to happen overnight....it was like something just clicked. I am proud to say we have had great luck and are wearing panties all day long except for nap time and nighttime. I am hoping to lose the pull-ups at nap time soon. She has woke up dry 4 out of the last 5 days!

The pile of panties...what a challenge picking out what pair to wear. I have started only letting her pick from about 3..because it was taking 20 minutes to decide on which pair...mercy!
AND yes, there was bribing involved.
Kane wouldn't let me take a picture of her on the potty...in his words...would you like someone to take a picture of you on the toilet! Such a good point...but, I am not as cute as she is :)
Lydia we are sooooo proud of you! We love you lots..

Wow!! Great job LYDIA!! Now, can you please show Mya how to be a big girl and potty :-) Like you, we have given up a few times. It will come easier later right?!?

Glad she was pretty easy for you and now less diapers to buy!!

Tell Kane he is no fun about pictures :)
I am so proud of LG being such a big girl. She is going to be one great sister.

Way to go, Lydia! We haven't even tried yet, although Katie does tell us when she wants changed. I'm waiting until after the baby is situated before we give it a shot.

Panties and a big girl bed! Sounds like she's ready to be a big sister!!
