Potty Training

Maddison had no interest in potty training for the longest time. Ever since her second birthday we have read books on potty training, Talking about being a big girl, wearing big girl panties, and finally one day it clicked. On January 5 after I changed her diaper, she wanted to run around the house naked.

I told her she can't pee pee on the floor and if she didn't wear a diaper she had to go potty on the toilet. She said "ok mommy"! Thirty minutes later I was getting nervous and told her mommy had to go potty and asked of she wanted to sit on her potty seat and go too.

We both sat down and to my surprise she went pee pee in her toilet! After I cleaned her, we washed hands and I picked her up butt naked, ran around the house screaming in excitement! She was laughing and I kept telling her I was so proud of her. We called her dad and left him a video message. Trevor was out of town and sent her a video message back. She watched it at least a half a dozen times.

I didn't want to pressure her, and she wanted to our a diaper in after that but the next day she went potty in the toilet 2 times. I knew she was ready to be potty trained. Later that night, we went to the dollar store and together we filled a basket of goodies to be her prizes. Maddison loved filling her own basket!

When we got home, i explained to her about her potty chart, and if she went potty she would get to pick a prize. She was so excited, and at that moment wanted to start. So she went potty and Earned her first prize.

The next morning she woke up and immediately put panties on. She had no accidents until after her nap. She ended up pooping on her pants. Trevor explained to her that she can poop in the toilet and that she can't in her pants. Later that day she ended up pooping two more times in the toilet!

The next day, Sunday, she stayed dry the entire day, and of course has gained a new confidence! She now will go into the bathroom by herself and turn the light on, take off her clothes, sit on her toilet and potty. We don't let her clean herself, although she wants to, then she will wash her hands.

Maddie prefers going potty baked. She takes off all her clothes in order to go the bathroom. Even though we tell her she can just pull down her panties, she only gets comfortable when she is completely naked. That is why she always looks naked in her potty pics. Trevor and I have to redress her all day! But it is worth it.

After she fills up her potty charts she gets to go to chuck e cheese. It only takes a week to complete. So, that is another motivator for her. I can't believe how easy this has been. I love how proud she is of herself! She tells everyone she is a big girl! We are so incredibly proud of her!

She loves tattoos!
