And she did it!

It has been six days since we started potty training, and I can say, with confidence, that our almost two year old is potty trained (during the day).  I figure we'll tackle the "over night" in another week or so.  She goes both #1 and #2 in her potty chair.  The first day wasn't bad, the second day was the hardest, and from there each day has gotten a lot easier.   She tells us when she needs to go to the bathroom now, and we take her.  I'm so proud of her.  I was torn about when to start the whole potty training thing.  I liked that I didn't have to worry about her needing to go potty in the middle of traffic, or trying to find a bathroom at the mall.  Both selfish reasons...I know.  The other side of me didn't want to change a toddlers poopy diaper!  When Tess started bringing me a diaper/wipe and would tell me when she went to the bathroom, I figured she was ready.  It wasn't planned, but last Tuesday I just decided not to put a diaper back on Tess, and the rest is history.

She now has too many pairs of underwear to count

When Tess goes to the bathroom in her potty chair, we give her M&M's or bubbles.
