Potty Training!



It started Monday night. This is a picture of her first trip to the potty.

We are using what I'm going to call the marathon method. The day after this picture was taken, we rolled up the rug, covered the couch, put the potty in the middle of the living room floor. We are spending our days drinking juice and practicing using the potty. We have a poster to put stickers on every time she goes, and m&m's to reward any attempt to use the potty. She's already tried tricking me into giving her m&m's by sitting on the potty and trying to convince me that the pee-pee just disappeared. Smart girl.

The first time she used the potty, we celebrated as if she had gotten into Stanford. Our exhuberant joy scared her a bit. We called the grandparents. We danced. We took pictures. It was great.

Here are the stats so far:

Day 1: 6 successful trips to the potty, 3 accidents.
Day 2: 5 successful trips to the potty, 1 accident.
