Miss, Miss, Miss, Hit, Score!

Now that warmer weather is here, I decided to take the opportunity to begin potty training Zofia. For her birthday, her uncle Tommy bought her a potty training book. We also have two potty chairs available and I bought some training underpants from Hanna Andersson. OK, I think I am ready...but is she?

So for the last 1-1/2 weeks we've been in training. I first started out by putting her in the training underpants. However, she called them diapers and used them as such. Gone. So she went butt-naked from the waist down for about 1/2 a day everyday. The first time she used the potty she got tons of praise, high-fives, a phone call to daddy, and the awesome treat to flush the toilet.

So in earnest we started last Friday. We spent the entire day in the studio so that I could make a water-sling for Aaron to take to the pool. She played with her toys and every 30 minutes or so I reminded her about the potty by either taking her there or asking her to tell me where it was or telling me what goes in the potty. I made sure she knew that all of her friends also used the potty. She had 3 accidents that day and about 3 hits. Diapers went on for naps.

The potty chair has been moved around the main floor of the house but has a final spot near the window with a towel underneath to catch inevitable drips - yuck. She is now sitting on her chair without prompting to use it - yeah! Today we tried underpants again but still not working out yet.

Today's score:
Miss: 1
Hits: 3!
