KATE IS POTTY TRAINED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't even begin to tell you how much we have struggled with this over the past few months. She knew when she needed to go, knew what to do, but just flat out refused. She has serious control issues. It finally got to the point where she didn't want to go in her diaper OR in the potty. Uh, honey, you have to go somewhere! After an unfortunate incident in the McDonald's parking lot, which ended in a pair of soggy pants and a very frustrated mommy, it's like something just clicked in that little head of hers. "Oh, mommy was right, I DO have to go somewhere. Gee, it sucks having wet pants and a mad mommy...hmmm, guess I'll go on the potty now!" And that was that. Okay, maybe not quite that simple, there was still a little bribery to get her to go, but it was basically easy. This was not even a week ago, and now she's a champ. Hasn't had an accident since then.
I honestly thought this day would never come. I was convinced that my child would be the only one in her preschool class who was still wearing diapers. I promised her a few weeks ago that as soon as she started using the potty all the time that I would take her to San Antonio to go see Shamu. When I made the promise, I thought I wouldn't have to follow through with it until much later this summer. Boy did she prove me wrong. We're packing up and heading to SA in a couple of weeks....good thing we already have season passes and a free place to stay!

YAY!!!! I totally understand your feeling of having the only preschooler in diapers. I NEVER thought that Tyson would go in the potty. Which also made me think he would never go to preschool since you have to be potty trained to do that here. Sigh. But now, look at our big 'ole kiddos!! I'm beyond happy for you two!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo Kate! See I told you it would happen. :) So excited for you guys. It's great when they learn to go on their own. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS! Bet it's a great feeling :)
ReplyDeleteYipppeee!!! That's so awesome :)
ReplyDeleteI WILL have a preschooler in diapers, but not for lack of trying.
