Potty training!!

My little girl is becoming such a big girl and so fast!!!! On the subject of potty training she had been showing signs for a while that she was ready and this being prior to Maverick being born.  But we really didn't want to train her and then have Maverick and revert back because of the "trauma" per se of having a sibling around.  Well we were waiting for things to settle down for her and then her cousins came to visit, the older cousin Calista has been potty trained recently and Rogue was watching her go to the bathroom with a parent, go potty and get praised.  She also saw the pretty "big girl panties" she got to wear and thought that was pretty cool too, next thing I know she was wanting to go on the potty too.  So we officially started potty training last monday, and by this point I think we are pretty well potty trained.  she tells me when she has to go, we haven't had any accidents in the last couple days and even drove to Walla Walla (an hour drive there) and back without any accidents. I even let her sleep last night in her big girl panties and we didn't have an accident!!!  she loves her panties and she gets stickers (tinkerbell ones to be exact) or a chocolate when she goes potty.  I am grateful we pretty well have her trained ( I still expect some accidents in the future) but my diaper bill will be drastically reduced!!

 My happy girl!

  1. Congrats Momma! Cara was recently potty trained too. In think in the last month we have only had 2 accidents. I don't know why the switch clicked, but it did and I am grateful!
