Potty Training 101

This week we started Potty Training '09. I finally got around to reading Diaper Free Before 3 - I was in the middle of it for about a month or so, before finishing it up last week. I found a free potty chart on-line and decided on 3 colored stickers - green for you know what, pink for you also know what, and yellow for trying.

How we are starting out is asking her 3-4 times a day if she would like to try to use the potty. Normally she says yes and we get some books or a puzzle, her sippy cup and head into the bathroom. No matter what, she will get a sticker and she LOVES this!

On Monday - morning one of day one, I asked her if she had to use the potty and she said yes. We went in and she sat right down and went potty then said all done!! She was so excited and we made a huge deal out of it. I know it was beginners luck, but that's ok - it was a great way to start the week!
