Potty Training

Our peanut is officially potty trained. I cannot believe how quickly it happened. We waited until 2 1/2 for a few reasons. She hasn't shown any interest or sign of being ready prior to this time. We also knew she has to be fully potty trained before she starts 3 year old preschool in August. So this seemed liked our best time. The first day I pulled out the little potty and we had one success. I didn't ask her to go or even mention it. A week went buy and Addison didn't touch the potty. After a week, we finally had a weekend we planned on staying home. I took off Addison's diaper when she woke up and showed her the potty. I basically left the potty in front of the TV for 2 days straight. She used it several times and only had 1-2 accidents a day. So far so good! We even brought the potty to church and she had successes there. On Monday we had an accident free day. Tuesday she went to school and refused to use their kid size potty. Wednesday we had a good day at home, Thursday all accidents at school. By Friday Addison was willing to try the big potty but with a kid round seat on it. She used both the travel potty and large potty with the ring that weekend. The second Monday we were accident free again. Tuesday she went to school and decided the potties were no longer scary. She hasn't had an accident at school since. At home we have 1 accident every few days. I do not ask her to use the potty unless we are getting ready to leave the house or if it's nap/bed time. She now prefers the large potties without any kid ring. We do bring the travel potty in the car in case we are not near a restroom. This girl has rocked it in the last month. We are so proud of her. She is very proud of herself as well. She still wears a diaper at night because 12 hours is a long time and she hasn't woken up dry yet. However 1 diaper a day is just not a big deal to me at her age.
