I Pae-Pae, Mommy!

We tried potty training a couple months ago, to no avail. She just wasn't interested. So, i gave it a go again about three and a half weeks ago and after two days, she got it! We have a little potty in the kitchen that we could take to any room with us so she could go fast. We only had to do that a few days and then she just started going to the kitchen by herself.


Potty Box of Entertainment includes books, legos and her candy jars for motivation. :) (Side note: they are no longer needed...well, most the time anyway.)

She prefers the "dummie-boe's" instead of the "neminems"--whose child is she?!

Nate seemed to think that he needed proper payment for going to the potty too. I informed him when he was learning to use the potty, he was properly compensated for his efforts too.

Is this not great black-mail fodder though?! And, no he's not really using the pink girly potty.

See, his pants are on.


So, three-four weeks later, at 28 months she is officially potty trained! We even leave the house with "pa-ey's" (panties) on. I bought another little potty and leave it in the van, just in case. Trust me, it comes in handy!

I can't remember how long it took the boys to hold it at nap and through the night (she's still not there) but considering she's 8 months younger than the boys were when they finally potty trained, i'm totally not worrying about it! ;)

Good job, Baby Girl! (YES! She's still our baby. She'll always will be our baby, no arguments! ;) )
