Ready or Not Potty Training Here We Come!

Call it selfish or call it smart, either way you look at it I was NOT going to potty train Paige until she was ready. I did not want to have to be running to the bathroom every 20 minutes and basically train myself to take my child to the bathroom. I was going to wait until Paige could tell me when she needed to go and basically take herself.

Well, that time came. Wednesday morning I was getting ready to give the girls a bath and before Paige got in she told me she needed to go potty. Now, this isn't a new thing. She has said this before and she has sat on the toilet, but had never actually gone. Until this day. I thought, well, she already has all her clothes off, the toilet is right here, I'll go ahead and let her sit on it. . . And she actually tinkled. I was so proud. We did the potty dance and made a huge deal of it. In my mind I'm thinking it's a fluke, but I'll go with it. After her bath before I put her daiper on she tells me again that she has to go potty. So I put her on the toilet. . .And she tinkled. I have to admit, I thought, "Are you serious? I was not going to even think about it until we got back from Florida." (which was a week away) That day she kept her daiper dry all morning and most of the evening. She even went #2.

So here we are, 5 days out, still doing great. She does have a few accidents and we are still doing pull-ups, but we are well on our way to having child #1 out of daipers. Way to go Paige, I'm so proud of you.
