POTTY TIME!
You may remember these pictures from our month at Siesta Key:
While we were there she got really interested in using the potty. At first it was just on the beach (which made for lots less messes), but then her entourage (aka cousins) brought lots excitement, encouragement, & treats to the big potty. She only used it a couple times a day at this point. I didn't want to push it too hard since we had a long car ride at the end of the trip. When we got home we went into potty training mode. If she wasn't able to hold it and interested in going on the toilet a few times a day, I wouldn't have started. This girl is a stubborn little sassy pants! Some days it seemed like all I did was clean up her messes. Eventually (with the help of candy) she got it. In the mean time she came up with all kinds of places to potty (her pink potty moved wherever in the house, her potty, or Mommy & Daddy's potty) and all kinds of outfits to go with her big girl underwear.
Once she got peeing down, she still had accidents pooping in her pants so we decided to go big. I told her she could have a lollipop whenever she pooped in the potty. The first time was at April & Travis' house and even though it was just a tiny bit...we celebrated big! We went to the store and let her pick out whatever lollipop she wanted. Apparently she believes in the philosophy 'go big or go home'. Love her!
All is well now, with the occasional accident. Boy am I glad that we're over the worst of it!
