It's official! Brooke is potty trained! We are still wearing pull-ups on errands and at school, just because I am not in the mood for accidents. She has not peed in her pull-up for about 3 days now. I'm sure it will be soon that we lose those! It was crazy, she was literally peeing all over the house for about 3 days. She would scream and fight me every time I tried to get her to sit on the toilet. I really thought she wasn't ready, and that I should wait a while longer. I told myself that I would give her a week before we gave up completely. As the week went on, she made some little improvements. She would tell me that her belly hurt, and I realized that meant that she had to pee. When it was just her and I at home, she did well. When the girls came home from school and she was distracted, that's when the peeing would start. Upstairs, downstairs, everywhere...
Then, all of a sudden I guess the "magic panties" started working, on Saturday, she just decided to go the bathroom every time she had to go. It was awesome! At one point, Kacy screamed, "Brooke is going poopoo!" I panicked, expecting her to be going on the floor or in her pants. Kacy said, "She is on the potty!" She didn't even tell anyone, she literally just went in there all on her own. Since then, she has been what we call a "potty master." A few funny things - every time she pees, she says, "It a water fountain!"
I was giving her candy, so of course, now any time she goes to the bathroom she says, "Potty candy, now?" I do sometimes, just because she is so dang cute.
One time she said, "Mommy, Daddy be so proud of me!" He is very proud, and so am I :)
We made up a potty dance, one for pee and one for poop. She thinks it's hilarious, and frankly, so do I!
So glad to be passed yet another milestone in growing up. Some I am sad to see go, but not this one!!! No more stinky diapers!
