Potty Time


Oh the joys of potty training! I started potty training last week and so far we are doing pretty good. We have had lots of accidents and I have had to do lots of laundry. We are not doing pull-ups or diapers at all, even at night so that has lead to a few interesting moments. We went to the store last night just for a few minutes and I kept reminding her to tell me if she had to go. Well, she kept saying no and then all of a sudden I hear her yelling, "I'm peeing momma, I'm peeing!" I looked down to find a puddle on the floor and she was soaked. As she waddled to the front, she kept screaming, "I peed momma, I all wet!" I was tempted to leave the puddle a make a b-line for the door, but I decided that I better not and asked for some paper towels. Nice. So funny. I thought maybe the people around me would think it was funny or understand, but they all kind of stood there looking at me like I was crazy. Then we went for a hike and she got her first lesson in peeing the woods. She took to that pretty well! That's my girl! She is doing really good for the most part. The best is when I said, "Savannah, I am so proud of you" when she went in the potty and she says..."I'm proud of you too, momma!"

Potty training sure does create a lot of funny stories to tell. Glad to hear it is going fairly well so far! Did you ever try to watch or the doll? Just curious. Julia is also doing great with potty training. We are not as brave as you though with the no diapers or pull-ups at night thing. That will come in time.

That is definitely the best way to do it. My boys were both potty trained (except at night) with in a week. They really hate to be wet so they learn quickly!
