My Big Girl!!

Just have to share my news!  I started potty training Gabi and this morning she pooped on the potty!  I am so excited!!!  I don't think it will be long before she is fully done, which was my goal this summer.  I wanted to train her before she went back to daycare.  YAY GABI!!!!

OH needs to add a like function like FB has.   Way to go.  

Thanks!  I agree, it is so much easier to hit a like button when needed!!

WOW...Congrats! We are barely getting Emad into this whole thing but until he gets better with his words...having grunt syndrome right now...it will be hard...how else will he tell me he needs to go when we are out and about? Any tips are welcomed!

Thanks!  Emad will get it, but he does need to speak more.  Gabi really talks a lot, even in sentences.  She loves to sing, too.  I think I started talking about the potty back in March, just talking at diaper changes and when she was in the bathroom with me.  It is something you have to do a lot of talking about before they start going!  

We did a couple of mornings in underwear in early July, she just wasn't fully ready.  But anytime she wanted to sit, I let her.  She also went a few times.  It is just starting to click, thank goodness!  My mom had all of her girls trained at 18 months and the boys at 2 and a half.  So she has been after me to start.  I also potty trained a lot of kids when I worked in daycare.  When they are a bit older than Gabi, you can bribe them with stuff.  I gave the boys M&Ms to go. That worked.  Gabi doesn't care about "performing" to get things.  She just does it.  Which is good, I guess! 

Seriously, though, wait until he is around 2 1/2.  That is a good age for boys to start.  But talk a lot about it for at least 3 months before you start him going.  Good luck!!

Way to go for Gabi. I am beginning the process with Riley. I am soooo excited for her to be potty trained, but we are taking it slow with her. She's only semi-interested.
