Potty Training!

Cambree has been ready to potty train for a while, it's her mother who hasn't been ready. I finally decided to give it a try since she keeps asking me to take her to the potty. She is 2 1/2 years old this month, which is a perfect age to start the process.

My dear friend Cortney told me about a book called 3 Day Potty Training by Lora Jensen, I read it and thought why not give it a try? Basically it's to have them know they need to go on their own by reminding them to let you know when they have to go to the potty instead of asking them if they have to go. You also have to give them positive reinforcement, never negative.

Day 1...
Cambree loved wearing her new undies, she's such a show off!

 

Addie was happy just to sit home and relax.

 

Cambree's loot to choose from when I decide she deserves a prize...

 

She had a couple accidents but overall did a really good job. I was also proud of myself that I stayed positive throughout the whole day.

Day 2...
She had a lot more accidents than day 1. Boy was I happy when the day was over with.

Day 3...
She only had 2 accidents.

 

Since then we have gone on errands and she hasn't had an accident. She hasn't worn diapers since last Wednesday. She hasn't had an accident once at night, which is strange to me because she never woke up with a dry diaper and now that she's wearing underwear she can hold it all night long?

We are so proud of our little girl. I'm happy to report we only have one child in our home wearing diapers now! Yay Cambree!
