We have been working on potty training since the summer, but took a little bit of time off because it just wasn't going well. Then one Sunday (November 25th), we asked Olivia is she wanted to wear panties and she said ok. It was literally that easy!
She has an amazing bladder capacity and can go for hours without having to pee. She takes after her daddy for sure! She wouldn't pee in the potty on Sunday, instead waiting until we put a pull up on her for naptime. However, she didn't have any accidents, either. The next day, (Nov 26th), Olive put panties on again and eventually she peed in her little potty. We made a HUGE to-do about it, complete with marshmallows and stickers. This continued for days with no accidents, and we were so happy and proud.
Now pooping was another story. Miss Olive can be about as stubborn as her mommy :), and for some reason she got it in her head that she wasn't going to poop in the potty. No way, no how. She went for 3 days (her poor belly) and ended up having an accident at school. She then went a few more days before she would FINALLY poop in the potty. We made an even bigger deal, complete with more stickers and more marshmallows and it's been smooth sailing ever since. She's only had one pee accident, which happened right after she woke up from a nap, and no more poop accidents.
We started with pull ups at naps and night time, progressed to pull ups only at night, and now she is 100% in panties-no more diapers or pull ups! She is also pretty much using the "big potty", which means even less for mommy to clean up. Such a big girl! Way to go, Olivia!!!!
