Potty Training

We started potty training last week. I can't believe I'm doing this. We've jumped into big girl life!

We really haven't had a bad day with it yet. A few accidents here and there (one of them was right in front of the potty, so does that even count?!), but Mary has the hang of telling us when she needs to go and she LOVES the treats that come afterwards. Kind of like training a dog ... I'm just surprised how much we have to talk about/think about the potty. It's all day, and it's a bit tiresome. I hope this only lasts a little while. 

Anyway, she stayed dry all day yesterday and all through the night last night, so I am encouraged! And I must say that all of her pants fit much better without that bulky diaper to cover. Wahoo.

Sarah ... just stick with it - really I think it just takes 3-5 GOOD days of "training" ... and then another week or two of reminders and lots of candy - and you're SET! Too funny that the first 2 comments are from "Grovetownians" :)
