All Things Potty
Four score and February of this year if you read the post you remember this picture:
It seems as though we've been potty training forever, only because Avery has been both loving and hating the potty at times. Since she was going occasionally I didn't want to push her or make her think going was a chore. So we took it slow.
Originally we bought her a stand alone Dora potty seat for our powder room and a small dora potty seat that fit the big potty in the guest bathroom upstairs. After Avery complained that the stand alone was pinching her we bought another small potty seat for the powder room.
For about a month she'd been cringing at the thought of going potty for who knows what reason. Then lately she kept wetting through her diaper and I figured if we were going to have to clean up accidents then we might as well start officially potty training.
Luckily we were already stocked up on pull-ups, thick cloth panties, stickers, and even mini M&Ms. And on September 12th we unofficially/officially started potty training. Avery did great, we only had a few accidents.
Since then we have had very little accidents and have gone out and about and Avery is becoming a pro at going in public restrooms, although occasionally the germs stress me out. Maybe I should put gloves on her when we go in :)
She's getting great at letting us know when she has to go potty, and after she flushes and washes she gets her choice of mini M&M or sticker. Surprisingly these days she opts for the stickers. I have noticed she's a little Type A (not unlike myself) choosing matching stickers and lining them up.
We're very blessed most of the time she's enthusiastic to use the potty and gets excited about washing her hands, (that's her favorite part.) It's not always the first thing she wants to do in the morning but she's a pretty good listener.
Typically Avery will stay dry through nap time and bedtime, but we don't exactly have her where she can get in and out of bed easily so just in case we're still using pull-ups.
So here you have our Big Girl who's potty trained and ready for the next accomplishment! Good job Avery Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you!
