Potty Trained


The title says it all- potty trained, not training!
Last week we I went to Walmart to get another box of diapers ($$$$)! I decided to try the Pull-ups idea which I always thought was the dumbest thing, but they princesses on them. On Friday I took Brecken to Target. She sees this "wedding dolly" and wanted it soooo bad. I told her that if she went pee-pee and poo-poo on the toilet and kept her underwear dry I would buy her a special surprise. That was a tall order, but Monday morning I asked her if she wanted to wear a diaper or underwear. "Underwear!" was the response. We talked about the special surprise if she kept dry. She talked about her wedding dolly all day. Brecken was soo good about telling me when she had to go.

*11 o'clock comes- still dry.
*Nap time comes- she wants to keep her underwear on.
*After nap time- still dry.
*3 o'clock- still dry.
*Lane comes home- still dry.
*Eat dinner- still dry!

*Go to Target to get her special surprise wedding dolly. "I have to go potty!" Granted, we are all the way across the store (as far away as physically possible- literally). I pick her up and run. "Don't have an accident- hold in your pee-pee" We arrive at the bathroom(public restrooms- YUCK!). Brecken, "I don't like it!" referring to the toilet. We beep Lane on the phone and tell him to go get the toilet seat from the car. She still wouldn't do it. So we buy the toy and race to Dave and Delpha's. By the time we got to the bathroom, she had accident. We couldn't make her feel bad. She worked so hard, finally gets her reward, and then the dumb public restroom grossed her out so she ends up having an accident(thank goodness pull-ups are working for "underwear")! Poor thing! We kept telling her how happy we were and how big she was! She must have liked it because she kept dry again today (except one accident that was totally my fault for not being within hearing distance)!!! Yeah for Brecken, our Big, BIG girl. I can't believe it!

Doesn't she look bigger already?! She loves her wedding dolly!

Feel free to come up any time. I'll save all the boxes for you to unpack k? j/k Really trust me you don't want to unpack our stuff, but still come up. So I need an update: on Verona and Crystal. What are their pregnant status'. Did Verona have a girl or boy, and has Crystal been induced yet (I knew it was a possibility with the fifths disease). Thanks. I think we will try to make it to playgroup tomorrow so I can get an update then, but if you have one sooner, pass it along.
