Giving Thanks--Day 8

Today...it's cold and cloudy and bleh looking.

But I am thankful!

thankful we have another day!

I am also thankful for miss k being fully potty trained....and it taking like only a day or so to complete.

HOOORAY!!!!

How did we do it??

We had originally tried to go straight to panties with k many times. not too much fun. she didn't make it. she had a couple pee accidents and there was a poop incident on the floor (tmi? oh well!)

so we waited. tried to buy more panties, k took them out of the cart, many times and threw them on the floor. lol. she literally thought they were the root of ALL evil! 

silly girl!

So we kept getting potty books from the library and reading to her about it, talking about it, encouraging it. we knew when she was ready it would take no time at all.

tried the pull-ups, nope, they're just prettier diapers!

My good friend Krystal suggested the singing potty...k was scared of it at first, lol! but she did get used to it, eventually...

We saw on another blog (i forget which one....sorry!)  they switched out their little boys' size 5 diapers for size 1 (maybe even a newborn size!)

That didn't fit him! So he had gown to be such a big boy that he could only wear undies....

hmmmmmm..... i thought we could do this!

seemed like such an awesome idea!

But we didn't get a chance to do that either!

We ran out of diapers on a sunday night, after she was already put into her pjs. 

So the next morning....there wasn't any diapers for miss k!

too bad!

She had no choice! Panties it was!!

and she was completely ok with it!! yess!!

We have to cart the potty around with us where ever we go....it's literally in every room. 

I think of it as a step by step process. First she learns to just go on the potty, and it's close by so she can make it...reducing accidents.

Once she gets used to that and trains herself to hold it longer...then we keep the potty in the bathroom and she can go always in there....then we will move/upgrade to the big potty. 

it makes sense in my mind. 

i think it does for k too.

we used to have so many issues with her refusing to poop and then getting yeast infections and then pain and more refusing to poop, making it all worse.

YUCK, i know!

But now! No more problems! yayy! she goes on the potty. 

it's quite funny to see her do her little potty dance. 

YAY! so like 4-5 more months of no diapers..then the next one comes! 

have a good day everyone!
