POTTY TRAINING!

And here we go! I read a book called "Oh, Crap!" which is basically a boot camp potty training method and it resonated with me. We went for it. And it WORKED! We started on a Thursday cold turkey - no diapers - no anything for that matter - you keep them naked and watch them like a hawk. What you learn about your kid and their potty habits is fascinating and what I learned about this girl is that she is a CAMEL. Yes, my child can drink water all morning, plus a juice box or two, and hold her pee for SIX HOURS. This made the first day a little challenging in ways I was definitely not anticipating, but we persevered, but by day 3, she was basically potty trained. We had a grand total of 2 accidents, both of which were because she just wasn't quite to the potty in time, but she was on her way. By day 4, we had our first outing (a quick one to the park) and within a week we were running longer errands (with a potty in the back of the car for good measure).
I am so proud of my girl for simply nailing it!
Side note: we are still in diapers for naps and bedtime - we're not quite THAT good :)






The infamous car potty. This thing saved us so many times!
