The Joys of Potty Training

Well, we decided to potty train Asher this week. She is 2 years 4 months, and Aidan was 2 years 9 months. With Aidan we really lucked out because Miss Claudia for the most part potty trained Aidan at daycare in 2 days. He wore pull ups for about 2 nights, and that was it!

Asher really is doing amazingly well in my opinion. We did not make any plans for 3 days and have been at home. Day one Ash had about 6 accidents, peed on the couch 2 times, but also went on the potty like 20 times! We went through a lot of strawberry heart shaped marshmallows, and Aidan was happy to be getting a marshmallow every time Asher did. He was really helpful and encouraging to Sissy too!

Day 2 went a little better. She only had 3 accidents, all of which involved either nap time or a #2, and still went a bunch on the potty. And the couch stayed dry too!

Today is day 3 and she is doing awesome! NO accidents as of yet!! She went down for a nap and hopefully (cross your fingers) will wake up dry. Night times we are still doing pull ups and probably will need to a little longer than we did with Aidan.

I can't say this process has been "fun" but it has actually been a little easier than I thought. I am really proud of her and happy that Aidan was able to help her out too. :)

It is always so much fun to potty train kids. My favorite is when they yell, "wipe my butt."
Thank you for sharing your progress or Asher's.
