Adventures in Potty Training

Adventures in Potty Training.

Let me preface that these pictures are from about 2 weeks ago when Matt's folks were here. When our adventure began.

For several weeks prior to their visit, Cami would wake up in the morning with a dry diaper. So I would sit with her in the bathroom and eventually she would potty on the potty. However throughout the rest of the day....she didn't show much intention or interest. I figured some success was better than no success and one day it would click. The Friday that Grandma and Papa were her she wanted to wear panties...call it showing off for her grandparents or it just clicking, but she went potty 3 times. 3 times again sunday and then 8 times on monday. I have quit keeping track at this point.

Two weeks later we are doing well, but not completely ready to say that she is potty trained. At home she wears big girl cotton panties and when we are at the gym or out and about its pull-ups. For the most part we have had very few accidents and she rarely goes potty in her pull-up. She has even mastered telling the workers at the gym when she needs to potty and pottying for them! She will even go in a public restroom as long as I have her potty seat that sits on top of the big potty (thank you Vanessa)!

Although she hasn't gone #2 on the potty, we are getting close to being fully potty trained! I would venture to say by the beginning of the summer Matt and I will be saving a great deal of money by NOT buying diapers! YEAH!

Here are a few pictures of this adventure. Did I mention I bribe with gummy bears?!?

Me sitting on the floor in our bathroom. I have spent more time in that bathroom sitting, singing, playing patty-cake and painting nails than I care to admit!
Did I mention that my 2 year old adores nail polish and having her nails painted. But be aware her fingers and toes MUST MATCH!
Getting to pick a candy after a successful trip to the bathroom!

Keep it up Cam!
