Lucy is potty training...




Last week I decided that this week might be a good week to start to Potty Train. We have talked about doing it for awhile and had her little panties (we usually say underwear but you should hear Lucy call them panties, so cute) picked out too.
This week Dailey doesn't have preschool so we thought it would be a good week.
Well On Monday she was so excited to wear the monkey underwear. We also took her to the dollar store last week and let her pick out toys and prizes to put in our treat bucket. She went three times in the toilet and had three little accidents by 11:00 that morning. I was trying to pump her full of juice and I let her run around in just her underwear and jamma shirt.
By the afternoon she had told me twice that she needed to go. I thought it was just a fluke but we are now on day two and she has told me a handful of times that she needed to go and than we get in there and she goes.
Actually this morning we took her out of her pullup she slept in and she said "Mom, I do it"  she wanted to do it all by herself. She also would giggle everytime I would wipe her and say mom that tickles when you wipe.
She only had one accident today. A couple other times she told me she needed to go and she got on and went a lot but I felt her underwear and it was slightly wet. So she must have felt it coming and than told me. But I am very impressed with how quick she is picking it up!
She was in time out for not listening and so I thought id take a picture because it was just so cute.
I haven't really done the nose in the corner with her but I did it a lot with Cole and actually I have a pic of all the kids in that spot so I am not sure if I was really disciplining her or just catching the photo op moment. :)

I wasn't sure how tricky it would be trying to train her with Tayson having a cold and being pretty clingy so I told Cole and Dailey if they would ask Lucy if she needed to go potty and helped with all the hoopla of being excited for her when she went, they could pick a treat too. So they have been extremely helpful, and been her biggest cheering section. I am sure they would have been great cheer leaders even if I hadn't asked them to help and bribed them. But I have liked hearing them help support her!
Keeping our fingers crossed that this continues. The real test will be when we venture out!
