Potty Train (ed?)


Mission accomplished!

I've been without transportation for a month or so (Randy takes the car to work every day), so since its no fun to go places with a potty trainee in tow, we figured it was a good time to train her. Ruby's out of a diaper, and lovin' every minute of it!
She really was pretty awesome to train.--Nighttime and naps included.


Here she is with the bribery: panties to wear and a candy bar!!!
(one for her and one for Anne--in the hopes that Anne would be helpful and encouraging)


A Chart to record successes. She loved putting stickers on it!


SUCCESS!!! They were hers for the taking.


Here is the finished chart. She chose to ignore the days and use the corners, as you can see.
Whatever, as long as she's motivated to use the potty, right?
Woo hoo!! Back to only one in diapers at our house. Phew.

AHH the memories. Nope, don't miss it at all. But heartfelt congratulations are extended. I love the curls in her hair--how did I never see that before?

i need to do some potty training... i'm pretty sure she's ready, the question is, am I? yikes! i might need some moral support!

Congrats to all of you for your success. I am not looking forward to potty training. Can I ship my kid to you and you can send him back when he is in underware?

Randy said...

No problem Amber.*

* We give no guarantees about the condition of said underware.

Hooray, Ruby! You are such a big girl! And congrats to Mommy and Daddy for only have to pay for one in diapers now! That's a welcome relief on the budget, I'm sure!
