Potty Training

Potty Training
In the beginning of February we decided to buy Livie a big girl potty to try to get her potty trained in time for the new baby’s arrival.  I was determined to not have two babies in diapers so I did a lot of research and studied all the reviews on pottys and purchased a BabyBjorn pink potty. 
 
Livie seemed excited about it and used it a couple of times.  She ran around naked most of the time so all she had to do was sit on the potty when she had to go and not have to worry about clothes.  This idea didn’t always work but she was happy being naked.  Eventually, the excitment of the pink potty wore off and so did my dreams of a diaper free toddler. 
So, months went by and the potty was used as a seat, a step stool and a toy.  Then a couple months before my due date the potty got exciting again, this time it was on her terms.  She was doing so well (I think the chocolate treats helped out a lot) that we celebrated by buying her big girl panties. 
Liv was pretty much potty trained except she would wear a diaper when she would nap or go down at night and then Miss Alexis Kate came along and Livie regressed and we had to go back to wearing diapers all the time just like the new baby did. 
Well that didn’t last long either now Livie is potty trained and wears her big girl panties all the time except for when she sleeps.  Livie doesn’t even want to use her pink potty anymore, she wants to use the “big” potty.  She is so independent that she won’t let Nate or myself in the bathroom with her, she has to do everything herself.
I am very happy to have only one baby in a diaper and I am very proud of Livie especially since she isn’t even two yet.
