Potty Training Boot Camp

Last Thursday, May 26th, we started Potty Training Boot Camp with Sophie. It has been, in one word, challenging!! She is VERY strong willed and wants to do things her way. Day 1 went well, days 2&3 went pretty well, and then things went downhill! She decided to start bucking herself off the potty, kicking, screaming and anything else to not have to sit there. I was ready to throw in the towel last night!!!

I potty trained Curry just after he turned 2, when Sophie was a newborn. By day 3, he had it mastered! Everyone said that girls are easier than boys, so I thought I would have it made this time. On the contrary! So I was giving her (and myself) one week to get it down. Today, she has it!!!!! She finally told me she does not want the potty seat on, she wants to sit only on the toilet seat. She has had NO interest in the small potty we have. So I am just going with it! No accidents all day (so far), no meltdowns (on either party), and a nice calm house!

Here is a picture of my little potty girl after her first time to peepee on the potty! Thank goodness for iPods!!!!
