Adventures in Potty Training

So I have been needing to start potty training my daughter for some time now but I am really just lazy and don't want to do it!

I had decided to wait till she was 3 and then after that I changed it and decided to wait till my son was out of school because then I could stay home and focus on her.  This idea has been AWESOME!!!  (Thanks Becca)

So we started last week and had a set back because the pull ups we use for nap, it turns out she is allergic to them so we needed to wait till that went away.  So we started back up on Monday and she had one accident the whole day!  That was because she was playing outside and didn't make it in the house in time to go. So that was ok. 

The last couple days she has just been doing AMAZING! Very few accidents and she has become little miss independent.  She won't let me go in the bathroom with her because she wants to do it on her own.  I'm ok with that as long as I don't sit in pee when I go hehe.

So many times people have told me when and how to potty train my kids (mostly family).  But when it comes down to it, nobody knows me or my kids better than me.  Nobody knows when they are ready except me!  Every child is different and for me and my daughter, this was the best possible way to train her and I would never change that.

My thinking for both my kids was that they had to be trained before they could go to school and that was all I cared about.  The ppl that gave me advise, they were not here every day to change the diapers so not sure why they couldn't just let me do it to work for us.  It becomes very frustrating when you have family stop by once a month who complains that they should trained and I learned quickly to just say, "Well as long as they are before they start school they will be fine." 

Being stressed while doing anything is never good and this is one of those times.  I am not worried about anything right now the training is going smoothly and better than I could ever have expected.

It looks like when school starts, she will def be ready and I give all the glory to God for giving me what I could handle!

Thank you JESUS!!!!
