Potty Training Has Begun

Well, I planned on posting something last night after the first day of potty training with Rylie, but I was sooo exhausted that I went straight to bed.  I felt like I had been run over by a truck.  I guess lifting a 23 pound toddler on and off the toilet 50+ times and sitting on the bathroom floor for hours on end takes its toll on a 34 weeks pregnant body.  Who knew :)  Yesterday morning was rough, but like any good behavior analyst I tweaked my plan after nap and presto, SUCCESS!!  Today was amazing.  Rylie only had 1 accident and she actually pooped in the toilet twice.  I'm sure that is TMI for some people, but I can't tell you how proud I am.  As a parent you have to sit back and laugh about the things in your day that are truly monumental, like a poop in the toilet :)  Hopefully tomorrow goes even better than today.  At this rate, Rylie will be an old pro before the baby comes.  The next hurdle is finding a fold up potty seat to fit in the diaper bag since Rylie is so tiny & eventually will have to go when we are out and about.  Let the internet search begin!

  1. Hey lady! Poop in the toilet is (almost) always something to get excited about, especially when it is the alternative to poop in pants/diapers! Way to go with the potty training!!! :)
