Guess who's wearing....


BIG GIRL UNDERWEAR!


WOO HOO!

Our potty training woes seem to be over!
Yippeeeeeeeeeee!
Hallelujah!

So, what did we do different?
Nothing really.
No new formulas.
Or bribes.
Or threats.
:)
To be honest, I had all but given up hope and actually settled on the idea of waiting and just training the girls together in a few months.
But.... she's been begging to wear her big girl underwear.

So, yesterday I decided to give it just one more shot.
And what'da know
she just up and decided that she was gonna do it.
When this girl puts something in her mind- there's NO stopping her.
{I can't wait to see how God is going to use her!}

She had just one accident in the morning but went on to pee in the potty successfully for the rest of the day.
She even survived a car ride when we had to go out to pick up big brother from school.
What?! Where did that come from?
This is the child who {for the last YEAR} has refused to go on the potty.
On the floor- yes. On the couch-yes. On the kitchen chair- oh ya.
But the potty?- no thanks.

And then out of the blue....a whole day of potty dances, "pee pee on the potty" songs, marshmallow rewards and stickers for her potty chart.


Day Two {I'm thrilled to report} was just as successful.
Just one accident.
The rest of the day on the potty.

Ahhhhhhhh.
Breathing a huge sigh of relief.

Some of you might think it's a bit early to be celebrating.
But when it comes to the potty and my strong willed 3 year old two entire days with just 2 accidents is reason enough to throw a party!
OH YA!

  2. I totally know how you feel, Sara. We just potty-trained Lily a few months ago. While it went pretty quickly, the feeling of relief that it's over is huge!!! Congratulations, Mommy -- great job to both of you!
