Potty Training

Potty training is one of those things that parents stress about...how to do it, when to do it, what methods work best, and what doesn't work. We gave it a go last summer because Addie was showing all the physical signs of being ready, but due to our living situation it was not successful. I put it off until after Caden was born, but talked about it all the time with Addie. Last Friday, she woke up and said that she wanted to wear big girl undies. I didn't think much of it, but after 2 accidents she had figured it out. The rest of the day was a success and she was so proud of herself. Little did she know that the next morning we were heading to the coast and all the books advice to not start training before a big trip or any big event. I was freaked out that everything was going to be messed up from the trip and being in a new environment with a lot of distractions, but she did awesome!! She wears undies all the time now- even at night!! We are so proud of her and this major accomplishment. She is now longer a little girl...she is a BIG GIRL!
