Potty Chronicles

Potty Training... ugh.  Training Jackson was a LONG and arduous process.  Hannah has been ready for a while, I think.  The delay has been ME. 

Do I really want to intentionally engage my now 2 year old in another battle of wills??  Am I ready to be house-bound for a while?

But every time I purchase another box of diapers, I have a sense of urgency. 

So last week, it began.  Four successes and 2 accidents in a 3 hour period for the first day.  I call it a success!  She was SO PROUD and is quite a little cheerleader for herself.  Every success is very celebrated!!  The drive for candy works for her - probably a lot has to do with the fact that I very rarely let my kids have any.  I have not been able to dedicate all day to it like I would like since we are bound to take Jack to and from school and my new working schedule.  Last week was a little trial to see if we were both truly ready.

This week she has been terrific!  Accidents are few and far between, she is communicating the need, and still motivated by the candy.  She has been okay with wearing a diaper while we run errands and then right back to the potty when we get home.  I'm hoping by this weekend to have her in her cute new panties full time (except for sleeping).

So proud of you, sweet girl!
