...and then there were two...potty trained

Well, not totally, that takes until they are about 8 years old I suppose, but Ashlyn has improved leaps and bounds! I am such a firm believer in the 3 day potty training that I think I could sell it. We started Friday - and went thru several pairs of underwear (I mean panties, according to Ashlyn only boys wear underwear and girls wear panties), she went through 4 pairs and never made it to the potty in time....then Saturday was day two - only went through 3 pairs and started making it there in time...and Sunday we went through only 2 pairs and started actually saying, "I have to go potty!!" yipee!! And then....today...wow!!!!!!!! She wore the same pair ALL day!! She told me every single time when she had to pee and even told me when she had to poo - TWICE!!! Yes, she is a pro. Even woke up dry after nap time!! Awesome. I love the feeling of success. It was A LOT of hard work, determination and more patience than I can even begin to explain, but I survived it! I must have looked pretty put out on Friday night - my mom came over to help me out since Shawn was working late and as soon as Shawn walked in the door, I went upstairs, crawled in bed and didn't wake up until Saturday morning. My mom even got me yet another new purse - I have become obsessed with purses/bags lately. I have some SUPER CUTE ones. I'll try and take some pics and tomorrow and show you. A woman can never have enough. (speaking of which...one of you out there reading this is suppose to be making me a purse...don't think I have forgotten! ha! you know who you are!!) The hard work has definitely paid off. My advice, as a two time potty trainer would be make sure not only the child is ready, but that YOU are ready too. YIPEE!!!
Hope you are having the time of your life!!
