We decided to bite the bullet and start Camille on potty training with the hopes of only have 1 baby in diapers come July. We started with a 3 day "naked weekend". The first day we put her on the potty every 30 minutes (marked with the kitchen timer). We bribed her to sit on the potty with fruit snacks. Many accidents and just as many packs of fruit snacks later, we had a rough first day. The second day we had about 50% success in the potty and switched to only giving fruit snacks for going on the potty. The third day she seemed to regress and we were both frustrated. That night we talked about giving up, but decided to give it one more day. She sure showed us. On Monday she only had 1 accident and went to the potty all by herself a few times. WooHoo!!
Unfortunately, it's been a roller coaster ride from there. One problem that I see is that I'm not brave enough to take her out of the house without a diaper and when she has a diaper on she doesn't bother to tell us she needs to go. So, we've had a few weeks of practice and although she is getting a lot better, we still aren't quite there yet.
When she is naked at home, we have about a 95% success rate on the potty. As soon as we put on underwear or pants the success rate goes to about 50%. If we go with a diaper, it's pretty much a guarantee that she will just go in the diaper. If only we could be naked in public ;)
Another bribe to sit on the potty - playing with a phone.
or the iPad
We've been seeing a lot of this cute butt lately.
When she tries to put on her own underwear...
She's now obsessed with being naked and doesn't want clothes on most of the time.
Nightly play session with dada. This night it was bucking bronco. Another good thing is that Nick has taught her to count (to three at least) in order to get her ride. "one, two, three, GO!" is her favorite new phrase.
