WARNING: Potty Training In Progress!

This is the inside of our van, and yes.....that's a potty sitting right in the middle! It's been the new addition to our van for about a week now.....it stays in there all the time! Chloe has done so good over the past week and Kevin and I are extremely proud of her. It all started last week when Chloe's good friend, Grace, came to visit. Grace is potty trained and in this case, a little peer pressure worked like a charm!! I decided to go with it, since we are tired of outfitting two kids in diapers. Chloe wore Pull-Ups for most of the week last week and did very well. Then on Sunday, she went potty at church all day.....a huge accomplishment, I thought, since I wasn't with her. Then, on Sunday night, she even went poo-poo in the potty! I'm sorry to those of you (like my brother) who are reading this and thinking that I'm sharing way too much info......until you try and potty train a child, you won't understand how monumental a brown dollup is in the potty! :) Because of her accomplishment, she got new Disney Princess panties and has been wearing them ever since. We knew she could do it.....it was just a matter of whether we could wait it out until she was ready!

This picture to the left is me walking back to the car from the tree......I had been to "dump" the potty contents by the tree. Kevin thought it worthy of this picture......just so we would never forget all the "little" pleasures of parenthood! Better this, than taking my sweet little girl into hundreds of nasty public restrooms! :)

What a fun time for your little girl! I soooo remember taking a little potty everywhere (though it's been awhile). That is one great thing about boys - they can go ANYWHERE. :-) And yes, public restrooms can be yucky. Always carry Purell!

Casey! That is a great idea! I am so glad that Chloe is doing so well. I am about to start training Josiah and I may just bring the potty with us also!! That is great!
