Success!

I've been waiting a little while to post this because I didn't want to jinx myself.

Addie is potty trained! Wahoo!

She completed her last potty chart on July 28th and got the prize she had been working for since we started- her very own pink scooter with a basket.





She is even staying dry during naps and at night (though we're still doing pull-ups for those just in case) which was not completely expected yet. We are even to the point where I can usually just let her tell me when she has to go.

We have had a few accidents but honestly- we have
been very lucky (knock on wood). One night, she came in from playing outside to get something. She'd been gone for a little while so I went to check on her and she was crying because she'd had an accident on the kitchen floor. The next morning she told Clay that she had a "sad problem in the kitchen last night".

We are so proud of her! It feels so good to get this out of the way. Now we are working on her going by herself (instead of having to tell me and me go stand there) and we are hoping that she'll be used to it long enough before the baby comes that we don't see any or too much regression once he's here!

She's getting really good and pretty fast on that scooter too!

That is so awesome! I can't even describe how jealous I am. Smart move to just have one in diapers. Way to go Addie!

Congrads!!! I can't wait for the day. You'll have to give me some tips. I've been thinking about hiding some toys and giving them to her in gift bags when she goes in the potty, so that I don't have to buy a ton of new toys;)

I love Addie's pink scooter!!!!
