Potty Training

I know a lot of you probably could care less about this update but this is a huge milestone and pretty much our last!!! I posted last month about our potty training journey! Well I have to say that I am so excited we are 95% out of diapers...why 95%? Well, we still are not night trained quite yet but we are getting there slowly....I am not too worried about nightly yet, because buying a small pack of $9 pull-ups beats buying a large $26 box twice a month. 

We did 2 weeks of sitting on the potty every 20-30 minutes. And lots of rewards when she did go. I used a few apps on my phone to remind me and do virtual sticker chart and receiving a phone call. Potty Time was the one that has the phone call & virtual sticker chart...and Potty Baby I used for the timer and to keep track

Then we did week & half of bare bottom and her trying to know when to actually know to go. This we had a few accidents but I think this was the best way to get her to know that feeling. A lot of people actually had suggested this but the first time I tried she peed on the couch....so I had to make sure we had a few potty trips before we started this. We are now in fancy pants (as Breanna calls them) and she lets us know when she has to go. We still kind of struggle on car rides so if we are going anywhere longer than 20 minutes we will do a pull-up just to be safe.

I am so so proud of my girl, she isn't even 2 1/2 yet and she did this all on her own!! While I am excited I am kind of sad because she is no longer a baby and she is such a big girl!!! So if I can offer any advice to mommies in this journey...as a friend told me let them take the lead and it will happen! Don't stress it will just make it hard for the both of you.

Bittersweet...

This is the last bit of "baby" I have in my girl! She is growing up way too fast

Last week, we were just hanging out at home and Breanna mentions "I have to tinkle mommy" ok fine kid...I thought this was a fluke since she said this to B the week before and nothing came out of it.....well to my surprise she went! So that day we tried a few more times and success! So potty training is in full force!

So, I searched for some apps to help us keep track of everything happening and some reward system. We are doing a treat every time she goes along w stickers & a phone  call from the one app we downloaded. She really looks fwd to that!

Now, my goal was trying to have her trained by her 3rd birthday and I wasn't planning on even starting until late fall/early winter!  I haven't done the stay home for a few days straight yet, but she has been doing pretty good. 

Yes we have had accidents but that's to be expected but 90% of the time we go to sit on the potty she goes(even if she sits for a few minutes)....right now we are down to going every 20 minutes, I am hoping soon we can cut that to 30 then 40 and so on.

We haven't gotten down the going out and letting us know or even letting us know when she has to go but, it's a start and I am super proud of her! She is a total rock star
