Potty Training

I've decided that i'm either extremely crazy to begin potty training at 33 weeks pregnant, or just really ambitious. I'm leaning more towards crazy! :)


Jade is off to a really good start. Her first full day of training began on Friday where she successfully went both #1 and #2 on the potty, however did have a few accidents. On Saturday, we were out of the house most of the day, so unfortunately she had to spend most of the day in a diaper. I got a little frustrated at her on Saturday evening after she sat on the potty for 30+ min without going, and then had an accident immediately after getting up. This however seemed to be the biggest turning point in her journey so far because since then, she has hardly had an accident and is doing a great job self initiating her trips to the potty! She is now telling us she has to go prior to actually going!

She is super afraid of a regular sized potty, so going in public places without a diaper isn't quite an option yet. She does continue to tell me when she has to go even when she has a diaper on, which is a good sign! She is also still wearing a diaper for nap time and bedtime but has woken up dry a few times. We definitely have a long way to go, but I'm so proud of Jade and what she has already accomplished!
