Potty Learning: Part Deux!

Sunshine has been doing GREAT with potty learning! I am so proud of her. I wouldn't say that we are diaper free during the days, but we are getting there! Each night when she comes home from school I take off her diaper and she runs around the house "neked" (as she calls it) for the evening until bedtime. She knows when she has to go and gets soooooooo EXCITED when she does! (I am sure the M&Ms, after she goes, are helping along the excitement!) The past two nights that I have taken off her diaper she has been DRY! WOW! And then she runs to the potty!! WOO HOO! This weekend I am hoping we can really concentrate on it and get it down!!!

Potty Learning: Days 1 & 2

Well we started potty learning with Sunshine last night since Santa was kind enough to bring her some training undies! We took of her diaper, put on the training undies, set up her seat reducer, and armed myself with a jar of M&Ms for successes. Last night was unsuccessful; she would sit on the potty, but nothing happened. At one point she jumped up and yelled, "I need to go potty!!!" and ran into the bathroom only to leave a puddle on the floor. At least she made it to the bathroom! ;) Today we tried again and ended up with drips and drops here and there as well as a big puddle in the hallway. After nap she woke up dry and asked to go on the potty. She ripped off her diaper and ran to the bathroom. I followed her in and she has left a small puddle. I reminded her that pee goes in the potty and not on the floor. She sat on her seat and finished going! YAY! We did the pee-pee dance, ate an M&M, and called daddy at work to tell him the good news! Then she went running back in the bathroom yelling she had to go again! This time she pooped on the floor! DOH! Again we talked about how it goes in the potty not on the floor. I think we are off to a good start and I know for sure she is getting the concept. So here's keeping my fingers crossed (and toes too!) that this goes easily!!! Wish us luck!
