Potty training


well so exactly a week ago gracie woke up and i asked her if she needed to go potty and she said yes and so i put her on the potty and she actually went - so i thought today is as good of a day as any to start potty training - so we took the diaper off -threw it away and out came the underwear - the funny thing is though - thursdays i work and so it was daddy's time to take over - anyhow the day was miserable -peeing left and right everywhere - we finally bought training pants and so they started to absorb most of the pee - but it was ridiculous putting her on the toilet every half hour just to have her get off and go ten minutes later - anyhow finally the last pee of the night she made it on the potty - anyhow so i really thought that this was going to take forever and that when people said kids got potty trained in a weekend they were lying hahahh - anyhow but the next day went better and better until - today a week later and gracie hasn't had any accidents lately and she is actually telling us when she needs to go - yipee - so i am sure there will still be accidents along the way - but yeah for gracie she is growing up :)

Oh Jamie you give me hope! Bella started potty training yesterday. I've been putting her on the potty every 15 minutes. Yesterday she had 4 accidents, today only 2...

Isaac was 3 when I potty trained him and it was about 2 months of HECK... so I'm hopeful that Bella will catch on easier, just like your little Gracie!

Yeah, one giant parenthood hurdle down (or almost). You will have to tell me your secret when Landon's turn comes around. Hope you guys are doing well. Looks like the car show was fun.

Congratulations! That is such a big deal! Buy yourself some chocolate because you deserve a treat! It sounds like Gracie is a natural.

Hi Jamie! I found your blog on Ganae's blog and thought I'd mention that I was stalking it. JK. I just found it today, but I love reading about Gracie, she reminds me so much of our Adi it's just funny. It's fun to catch up on your family a little. We also have a blog, but it's private. So if you want an invite send me an email to garyzgirl@gmail.com and I'll send you one. See ya!
