Well, that ‘girls are earlier’ thing is really true here. Lucy is just 2 yrs and 3 months and she’s already pretty much finished with potty training. As you’ll see pictured, we started about a month ago with the potty in the bathtub. The drumming was just to give her something fun to do! She was in the tub because she’d get so excited and confused if something was happening, that she would stand up – hence a very messy floor. She was usually happy to sit there for a long time, especially when given food, drink and entertainment. We were having successes upon wake-up and after nap, but that was it for awhile. Then last week – boom! – she got it and was able to hold it in until we got to the potty. Imagine a little girl yelling ‘Wait! Wait!’ like her mommy does as we run together to the bathroom. Since then she’s been VERY motivated by the little treats, and sometime goes over 10 times a day. We’ll have to work on control later, I’m sure. 🙂 But wowza – it’s been nice!
