Potty Training

Potty training has begun! We started yesterday morning and it was not fun! Once she finally went on the little potty and got candy afterwards, I could see that it finally clicked with her. Since yesterday afternoon she has been doing great. She does the best when she has no pants or underwear on. She seems to be more aware that way. This morning she actually went poop on the potty twice! I was dreading the pooping part because I know it can be the hardest transition for them, but she did so well. She didn't even tell me that she needed to go. She just went by herself. She was quite shocked afterwards and seemed to be be quite disgusted. I was also grossed out. I almost lost my lunch! I know we have a long way to go, but I am very proud of her for her progress so far. Another big girl transition she did was today at the park. It was so beautiful outside that we took a break from potty training and went to play! All of the sudden she didn't need me anymore to do things. She climbed up the bars by herself, went down the big slide by herself, and was so confident and doing what Javen was doing. I was so shocked! She is just growing up so fast!!!

That is so great for both of you! I agree with the naked bum method. That worked the best for Brenna too. Good luck and don't get discouraged when people tell you horror stories. She is doing great!

We went naked around here, too. Well, only Chase was naked! Sounds like she's doing awesome!!

I think once they feel grown up 'cause they figure out the potty thing, it triggers other ideas of independence, too. I definitely felt like it boosted Eva's confidence. Keep it up!
