Potty Trained?

I have dreaded training Ashlyn, not because Dylan was so hard, but because he was so easy. I tried to train him at 18 mo. when I was ready. And you can imagine what a flop that was!! Then a few months before he turned 3 he kept telling me each time he was peeing in his diaper. I couldn't let the chance pass (no pun intended) and he practically potty trained himself in three days. I know many of you are green with envy. But I have put my time in with Dylan in other ways!


I thought my potty training luck must have run out on Dylan and I was dead set on the fact that Ashlyn would be a night mare. She also has had a bad record of letting it go on the carpet and wanting to go potty when she doesn't need to. However, Thursday she practically went poo on her own and I was also running out of diapers. Now is as good as any, I thought. So we have stepped into the world of underwear (well actually I got her underwear 6 months ago when she first was interested in the potty.) But this time I think it has stuck. The only accidents she really has had was largely my own- I often forget I am potty training her. It is helpful for her pants to be off so I remember what she is wearing underneath! So here were are four days later and she will take herself to the potty- well at least a few times! I trained Dylan at my mom's house all on my own. So I told Connor it was his turn. Don't you think that is fair? So much for that.

So to sum it all up, either I am an AMAZING potty trainer (hidden talent) or we must have a good potty gene in our family. Either way, I don't think the are worth gloating about. I hope this all doesn't come back to bite me because it is premature.

I would have to say she sure does look cute in underwear- still chunky with baby fat and all!! Talk about wanting to squeeze some checks! Now I have two kids that I want to do that to!!!
