The Oval Office






Yesterday started Potty Training Boot Camp at the Cobb House!  I've always heard that potty training can be done in three days, so for the last two days we've been "camped" out at home.  Hadley has been in panties for the last two days, unless it is nap time or in her crib for night time sleep.  Yesterday she only had 2.5 accidents, and the last one of the day was at 10:30am!  Today, we had one accident, outside at 8:00am, while we were doing sidewalk chalk...I blame myself for this one because I should have known better and brought her inside earlier.

If Hadley tee-tees in the potty, she gets 2 M&Ms.  If she goes #2 in the potty, she gets 4 M&Ms...this has been a HUGE success...so far!  I keep a huge glass jar of M&Ms for her to see, and I'm constantly asking her if she needs to go.  I've also stocked the fridge with juice boxes & capri suns...both are big treats because I rarely give them to her...she already weighs 32 pounds, and the last thing she needs is more sugar!

This is also kinda gross, but I'm doing what I have to right now.  I have a huge beach towel in our living room, and I've put her portable potty on top of it so she can play & watch TV & still be successful in her training.  So far so good...I hate to speak too soon & jinx myself, but I guess time will tell.

I DO have to go to a VBS meeting at church tonight & I'm wondering if I should keep her in panties (since she's done SO well) or put a pull up on her.  I really think the pull up will confuse her.  Thoughts anyone??

Ooooo I will be praying that all goes well! Hadley's a quick chick. I know she'll master it fast!

Way to go! That is huge for Hadley AND you!! :) I've heard of people putting those plastic liners over panties to prevent leaks if they have an accident.

No pull up! You just have to sweat it out!! Part of the process for her! Sounds like she is doing awesome!!!!
