Potty Training!

More like bootcamp. Sakari will love us for this post in about 10 years...lol! Well, day 1 was definitely the hardest...we went through about 10 pairs of big girl panties, but we just set the timer and kept as consistent as possible to take her to her potty. There were several accidents and only a 10% success rate on day one. Day 2, we started reading a potty story book and she seemed a little more comfortable and only had about 3 accidents, and 3 successful pee excursions in the potty. Today, ah...sweet day...she had one, yes one, tiny accident that didn't even get on the floor...she held her pee until we got to the bathroom and successfully went 7 or 8 times today!!!!!!! We had about a 98% success rate...are we geniuses? Not so much. But with the help of family in town helping us keep the timer and trips to the bathroom consistent - Sakari got the concept. Now, pooping is a little different as the first couple of days she wasn't sure what to do, but tonight we did have a poop explosion right before bed, but I think she's now getting more used to what she needs to do. She has been wearing pull ups during nap time and a diaper at night (they just hold more) and it has seemed to work for her. We know that poop takes longer. It's been a learning experience for us too, as we've had to put ourselves into her shoes and trying to understand that she's had to have a major mind shift from going anytime she feels like it to having to sit down and really think about how and when to deal with the bodily functions :) We are so proud of our little one...who is not so little anymore! We love her sooo much!!! Sakari, in our defense...we didn't post the naked butt pictures!
