Potty Training


We are officially a diaper-less household! (Pullups at night are a different story but little momma loves to chug water and sleeps 11 hours so you can't expect her to hold it that long!)

Anyway, rewind to a couple of months ago when my friend was talking about the success she had with a book called Oh Crap. I decided to listen to the audio version while I edited and took down notes and mark 3 days on the calendar where I could be 100% attentive to try the entire process out. That was about 12 days ago and here we are with 7 accident-free days in a row! I'm now a huge supporter of that method despite day 1 almost dying of boredom and thinking this child would never pick it up.

By days 2 and 3 it was clicking and she was really getting it. We had an accident on day 4 but that was to be expected as it was the first day wearing pants. Then we had 2 little accidents on day 5 but since then nothing. She's gone #1 and #2 every time on the potty and we're now introducing her to the big potty as well. She even got out of the pool yesterday to go tinkle and has gone while we were out eating dinner! So glad to be done with diapers in this household but, on the flip side, it's still another milestone that my baby has passed. :(

  1. Oh my goodness, that cute little bare butt!!! I never was brave enough to try potty training sans pants - I'll have to look into that book for Tenley! Congrats on being diaper free. I get the bittersweetness of that milestone. :)

  3. Yeah so exciting! I also just read that book and Wyatt has been trained since early January. It was super easy (he was my first to train that early). Wish I had that book with my other two!
