3 Day Potty Training!

Well I'm sure most of you are reading the title going, is she nuts?! Well I'm pretty sure at some point on Saturday Rob and I both thought we were nuts. I had read the book on the 3 day potty training method, sold Rob on the idea. We made no plans over the weekend just as suggested (well kind of). So Saturday morning came and we were all up bright and early at 6:00. We put on our first pair of undies and we were pumped!! For those of you who don't know what the 3 day method is, you basically just put your almost 2 year old in undies and let them learn by peeing their pants. I know it sounds harsh, but Paige learns in extremes or cold turkey as we call it at our house. It worked for the bottle, binkie, big girl bed, so we went with it.

So to jump a head by 9:30 AM, we had already gone through 7 pairs of undies and Mom and Dad were ready to go back to diapers and so was Paige. After around 12 accidents, Saturday was finally over. Sunday morning came and we had success right away! Then started the accidents and the commitments that we had previously made. Sunday was a bad day for all of us, Paige was sick of being wet all the time and her terrible 2s were in full force.

So Monday morning came and we sent Paige to daycare in a diaper. I had asked her if she was going to tell the girls if she had to go potty and she told me NOPE! So I didn't want daycare to deal with the mess. Now I had read in the book that on day 3 it would just click. Boy were they right. I was receiving text messages right and left from Paige's girls at daycare telling me how many times she had gone on the potty! We ended the day with only 2 accidents! I couldn't believe it. So today she went to daycare in a pull up and only had 1 accident! Now I'm aware she could go backwards, or we could have our rough days, but we are so very proud of our little lady!! She is doing so great!!!

We hope everyone is having a great week!! Sorry no picture in this post, we were focused so much on the potty I didn't get a picture of her!
