My child is now 2 years old, and while she has met many milestones I"m so proud of, I must admit that potty training is got to be one of the best! She figured it out in a total of one day. It was probably the most stressful, but yet most rewarding day at home with her.
I put undies on her on Monday, and kinda just let her see what she would do. She has had a potty seat since December, and has sat on it many times, but never really used it. She knew very well what it was for, but she never cared to actually pee in it. Monday was a big fail. She peed on the floor 8 times. I felt frustrated and perhaps was ready to throw in the towel, and just give it a break, but I was determined damn it. LOL.
On Tuesday I put her in undies again, but instead of asking her if she had to pee, I simply kept telling her to let me know when she had to pee. Low and behold about 30 minutes after reminding her every 5 minutes, she did it. She told me she had to pee, and went to the potty!! I praised her so so so so much, and she's never looked back again. Seriously she has had one accident since Tuesday morning, and it was on her way to the potty. She just didnt make it on time.
I know that she may regress or have a few accidents here and there, but really I think she enjoys all the praise she gets when she goes that she tries her best to make it each time. I think I'm so proud of this accomplishment because it's something I had to really teach her, but at the same time have her figure out at the same time. She's my big girl now, and I can't wait to see what other wonderful things she does in this life.
