potty training

well... it's about time i got down to potty training abigayle. she's been showing signs since new jersey but honestly diapers were so much easier on that super duper long drive from new jersey to california, then we didn't know how long we were going to stay in cali or where we were going to end up. can you imagine stopping every hour for her to go potty or the backtracking we could be doing with all the moving and confusion? but now that we are settled i'm ready to give up diapers.

wow... give up diapers?? i've been changing diapers for over 5 1/2 years, every single day.

i should own stock in huggies, lol.

potty training is going great!! they say boys are harder than girls but since my boys potty trained so easily i had my doubts that it would go as smoothly but she's doing it!! i don't use the fancy potty chairs that sing with toys and such, i will not use pull-ups and i don't use treats or bribes, i just took off her diaper and let her run around naked or in a little dress. she's had very few accidents and they've all been when she's put on an outfit and forgotten, lol.

we went to the grocery store yesterday, i, of course, threw a diaper on her and she proceeded to tell me every time she had to go potty. it was four times throughout our shopping trip, lol. can we say hydrated??!! i'd tell her she can go potty in her diaper and she'd push her little lips out and move her eyebrows down and tell me 'no'. she wanted her potty, lol. once she starts holding it for longer periods of time, we'll start venturing out without diapers all together!!

i only posted the picture of her going potty, i have more, you know... for bribing purposes later, lol.
