Potty Training

I've been bad at updating!! We've been up to a lot this past month, one big thing we accomplished was potty training!!! Marlee had been interested in going potty for a long time, so I figured I would go for it!!

We went to the store and Marlee picked out some underwear (not panties. I despise that word...). She loved them :)


I put blankets out for when she had accidents. We sat and played and had snacks.


I tried to get her to stay in the one area where the blankets were, but she HATED being confined to one area...by the end of the first day she had about 9 accidents and this was how I was feeling..


By the second day I had decided to let her play as usual and remind her every 15-20 minutes to go in and try to go potty. It worked MUCH better, and she and I were more relaxed and happy.  We even played outside in between potty breaks.


By day 4 she was accident free, and has done really well since! She has accidents every now and again, but I think it's been worth getting rid of the diapers.


One of my favorite things about potty training is that every time I wipe her little bum she kisses me on the top of my head. Best. Payment. Ever :)
