Potty Time!

4 weeks ago we decided to potty train Gwen and Grady. At only 25 months we were a little skeptical, but given Gwen's diaper rash we did not feel we had a choice, so we went for it. We have been pleasantly surprised. The method we used went straight to diapers, no pull ups. Gwen and Grady did amazing. Gwen pretty much got it right away. She has not had an accident in over a week. I am so proud of her. Grady did pretty well with pee pee right away, although he still has a few wet nights or naps, but overall he is doing great. He had a rough time going poop on the potty. He was starting to go in his pants and would run to the bathroom. Suddenly this week things have really clicked and he is doing great. I expect accidents going forward, but I can say we are diaper free. I am a very proud mommy. Unfortunately the money we would typically spend on diapers is now being spent on prizes.

Potty Time





If you are wondering where their pants are we were potty training. I am happy to say it has been a success. We have a few things to work on, but overall it has been a smooth process. If you have been around them during this process you have had the opportunity to actually see the results. Yes, that is correct, they love to run around with their potty showing everyone their pee pee and poo poo.


This past weekend we made a trip up to Cleveland. We made a few bathroom breaks both ways (one for mommy) and I am happy to say we had no accidents. It was a full house in the car, but we all had a good time. Grady is obsessed with big trucks. I can officially say Grady said big trucks 111 times from 71 to the Lake.

Neighborhood Party

Our neighborhood had a party tonight. Jen and Raegan went with us since the guys were golfing. It was the first day the kids have left the house since we started potty training last Friday. I loaded the potty in the trunk and off we went. The kids had a great time and the best news is we had ZERO accidents. I did have them sit on the potty before we went home in order to avoid any accidents in the car. Raegan helped the kids go through the inflatable obstacle course. Surprisingly Grady loved it and took off. Gwen did pretty good too, but never made it to the big slide at the end. Raegan was lucky enough to win a prize at the end. Overall it was a great event just down the street for free. It does not get much better than that!



Grady smiled as soon as he saw Raegan, he really missed her!


It is my fault Gwen was slow, I had to put her in a dress...





By the end everyone wanted to hold Raegan's hand!







My little dare devil!




Hurry!
