Well Addie finally decided that going to the potty is a pretty cool thing. I don't know if she has grown up that much this summer, or if she is enticed by the sugary smarties as her reward. She has been wearing big girl panties for about two weeks now and has been very successful. Kyle and I were surprised at how few times a day Addie goes. This petite two year old child can hold her pee better than any swimmer can hold their breath. It amazes me that some days she only goes three times. So far in the potty training times we have only had one casuality.... Addie's Tinkerbell panties had to be sent to the trash.
This past week I began to get brave and take her out in public in the big girl panties. Luckily we have not had to venture into the public bathrooms yet, but I know those days are numbered. All to soon, Addie will have to potty at the dreaded Walmart or convenience store, and I am ready with Lysol and wipes.
My sweet baby girl on her princess potty seat. Oh how time flies.
We call Lilly the camel because she holds it so long! She can get up in the morning and go and then not go again until we get home from school around 4! It's crazy! I even asked our pediatrician once if it was okay and she says it's fine, that she'll go when she needs to go. As far as the public bathrooms go, you'll quickly learn which places have the cleanest and you'll resort to bribery to get her to at least TRY to go before you leave home just so you can avoid having to go in a public bathroom! Oh, the fun of motherhood!
ReplyDeleteI hear congrats are in order. I swear Jedidiah purposely waited until we got out just so he could go to a public restroom. Very annoying.
