Potty Training week continued....

I have been pleasantly surprised at the success we've had with Sierra! She is so close to being fully trained! Day 2 almost perfectly! We only had one accident and she pooped in the potty! Day 3 was rough.... many accidents but we kept trying! Day 4 we had one accident, and she stayed dry during nap time! Day 5 NO accidents!!!!! I couldn't be happier to say goodbye to double the diapers! Maybe a year from now we will have no more diapers in the house at all!



Tomorrow I'm thinking about going on an outing with the girls since Daddy and Joshua will be gone so this will be the really test! I'm not sure if I am brave enough to take her out in underwear but we'll see. I see many potty breaks in our future!

The potty training diaries......

DAY 1 - Monday, August 23


Trainee: Sierra

Age: 2 1/2

Attempts to train: 4Th time - day 1

Tools: Lots of little undies, pink versatile potty chair, books, rewards

Reward: chocolate chips

Number of accidents: 2

Number of victories: 5


This will be attempt #4 to potty train Sierra; although I must confess that in the past my attempts have not been whole hearted (put her in underwear and after the first 2 accidents she goes right back to a diaper).

The plan is too work on potty training all week.... that is the plan anyway. Today was a very good day! We started out a bit rough when Sierra has 2 accidents right off the bat only mins/secs after just having sat on the potty but after that she had no more accidents all day!!!! She went into a diaper for nap time but was in her undies up until bed time!! It's going to be a long week but it has to happen sooner or later.
