Trained!...

Ellie is officially potty trained!  I hadn't thought much about training her, but a few weeks ago, I started randomly catching her trying to use the potty.  I kind of ignored it for a while--maybe I'm lazy, but there is something to be said about the convenience of a diaper when you're at the grocery store with 3 children in tow.  :)  But I figured we'd give it a try, since she will be 3 in a few months anyway.  My expectations might have been a little low, so she really surprised me with how well she did (with the exception of day 2, which resulted in more accidents than I care to mention.)  But other than that, she got it down in only a few days--so far, no accidents since last Wednesday!  She even wore underwear to church today (something I was not brave enough to try last Sunday), and the teacher said she even initiated taking herself to the potty there too!  Way to go, Ellie--We are very proud of you!!

  1. That is so exciting! Now down to 1 in diapers :D
    I wish we were there, Brennan even tries to get to her go. Bridgett showed interest when I was pregnant, but now not so much. We are not having any luck with her wanting to go, even with bribes. I am hoping that it starts to click in the next few weeks.

  2. Congratulations! No, really, I'm so not jealous of you. I mean, that is great that your 2 YEAR OLD is potty trained before my 3.3 year old. I'm not jealous, nope, not me! ;)
