This morning we started potty training, again.
As you know the first attempt at this didn't work out so well.
But lately with renewed interested, I decided to give it a try again especially because it is still my goal to have Roo out of diapers by the time Turtle makes her appearance.
This time around I just did what I thought was right. When she got up in the morning, I sat her on the potty and we had success. I did have to bribe her to wear her big-girl undies (lollipops work wonders with my child), but she's successfully worn them all morning.
Of course we did have accidents. Two to be precise and one was on my husband's pillow.
But it was only pee and cleaned up easily.
We had another success with a stinky and instead of rewarding her with a lollipop, I broke out the big guns and we had macaroni and cheese for lunch.
I'm still going to stick with the pull-ups while she naps and when she sleeps and while I know she's not "telling" me that she has to go potty, I still feel like we're doing so much better than we did last time.
I feel hope.
I feel that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and maybe, just maybe, I'll have a daughter that's potty training by the time her sister arrives.

My nephew is now officially potty trained and it seems like my sister either a) has a wonder kid or b) took the right approach with PT.
She blocked out an entire weekend to stay home and learn all about going to potty. There's some ridiculous Elmo video on Youtube that he was able to watch while eating popcorn each time he went to the potty ON the potty. He was trained by the end of the weekend. He's had maybe 2 accidents total since. Maybe it's worth a shot looking it up?! Goodluck!
Good luck mama. I am riding that stinky train too right now with my little guy...
Oh and I agree with Lace. The Elmo video works like magic.
Yay.. hope it continues well :)
Good Luck and I heard the Elmo video does work. They had nothing like that when Chris and Tommy were training.
