Potty Training has begun...

Well a couple days ago. I decided to have Kaylie sit on the potty while I was getting ready after my shower. She had never gone potty on her little toilet, so I thought maybe letting her sit on there for longer would help her. Sure enough she went pee! She was so excited. The next day I decided to try to see how ready she was. She only went pee on the potty 3 times and had many accidents. Then she kept telling me that it was "too hard, mommy." So, I quit. I learned with Maddie that forcing a kid to potty train makes everyone miserable! No pressure here!! I just kept it fun. I even told her that if she went poop on the potty I would make her cookies. Well, I thought for sure that she would just stop doing it when I didn't ask her anymore. But, to our amazement she went poo in the potty 2 days later all by herself. No one asked her! Then on Sunday, Nathan woke her up and took her in the bathroom with him while he went potty. She went pee again. She ended up going 2 more times before church then pooping and peeing when we got home from church. So today we went and bought our big girl some underwear and I held up my bargain and made her some Chocolate Chip Cookies! Yummy!
Big Girl on the Potty!
Cheese!

Enjoying her well earned cookie!
