Just an update on this whole potty training adventure. Yesterday, Peyton woke up from a 2 hour nap, and we let her just lay in her crib talking to herself and playing. She did this for about 10 minutes before I heard her quietly saying "potty, potty". I ran back to her room, picked her up and asked "Do you need to go potty?" She repeated and said "potty, potty." So I sat her on the toilet..sure enough...EUREKA!! We had pee pee!! TJ happened to be home, so I'm really glad he was here to witness it. We both got so proud of her we were in tears! Yes, even TJ is a huge softy, especially when it comes to his babies!
So we celebrated, gave her a special potty treat (a little toddler cookie). We proceeded to eat lunch, and she got the look on her face that says "I'm about to poop." So again, I asked if she had to go, she said "yes". So off to the bathroom we rushed...about 10 minutes of playing and reading books later, she went #2 in the potty! It was such an extremely exciting day here!
I know all I talk about lately is bodily functions of a toddler...but hey...you'll know that too when you start potty training, it's literally all you think about and do!
This morning has been another success so far as she has pee pee'd in the potty twice! (and it's only 9:20am!)
So mommas, I encourage you to be patient in whatever you are doing with your little one. I have no patience. I was ready to give up on Peyton b/c I thought she was too young to understand. Out of no where it clicked for her! I'm glad I didn't give up just yet!
By the way...news on the other baby (since I don't talk about poor him/her hardly at all). This baby has been moving a grooving the past few days! It's amazing to feel this precious life inside you once again. I had forgotten what it was like! This baby rolls around a lot... back and forth, back and forth! He/she gets more active at night when I'm trying to go to sleep, or if I'm sitting still. It's just cool to have this feeling back again! We find out in 2 weeks what we're having...everyone has their own opinion of course, except for me. I don't have a clue what this baby is, other than human!
And some of you may be proud of me...I've been doing lots of extensive research on cloth diapers. I'm really considering them for this baby! But I'm still researching and getting opinions of my fellow mommies. On top of that I've been researching potty training techniques...I feel like my life is consumed with these things, but that's ok with me! ;)
