Potty Training 101

Okay, so I really didn't mean to slack off so much on my blog, but apparently, the whole "slacking" thing can really sneak up on you! The last month has been craaaazy busy and I have a lot to catch up on! There will be several posts soon to come... so be prepared :) Now on with the good stuff! Savanna is officially potty trained! YEAH!! YEAH!! YEAH!! It first started with her wanting a bike. I told her once she went "pee pee on her potty" she could get one. That day, she went and looked at me and said, "there ya go now I get my bike!" She was a lot smarter than me... I never said potty trained I only said "pee pee on her potty". Well, of course after she got her bike she had no desire to go on the potty again. So after a week of battling it out with her, I took her to Dollar Tree, let her pick like 15 items that she wanted and did a "Savannas Potty Basket". I made it look all cute and set it out where she could see it and want it and admire all the fun things and I tell you what.... it worked! She got almost all 15 items in one day she went so much. It was exhausting and I must say, potty training has been one of the hardest things I have ever done. I've decided it is way easier to just change a diaper than have a child that has to pee every 5 minutes. And Savy had some issues with the whole pooping thing. She was so nervous to poop on the potty that she seriously held it in for like 5 days. Needless to say we finally figured it out and things are going much smoother now. My little girl is all grown up and now looks at her little brother like "what's your problem... I got it down now it's your turn"! So glad she is doing well and I have some time to prepare for the next one! Way to go Savanna... mommy and daddy are so proud of you!
