Potty Training.

Kennadi has been ready to be potty trained for months. I have been putting it off because it seemed like such a daunting task. I got a whole week off work so we decided to get it done! The weeks leading up to it, we have been introducing her to the potty. We also would look at the big girl panties when we were at walmart, watched some potty training videos, and read some books about going potty. It wasn't a new concept to her, which I think helped speed up the process a lot!

On day one, we started out just letting her run naked around the house and keeping a close eye on her. Once I saw that she was starting to pee, I would run her onto the toilet. I texted Austin around 9 am that first day asking if I could quit. I felt like i had only scrubbed the carpet since we woke up. We were having lots of accidents and I was getting discouraged. Around 11:30 am that day something clicked inside of Kennadi. She started becoming a potty training queen! The accidents were getting few and far between.

We have now been potty trained for about 2 weeks (with the exception of sleep times). Yes, we still have accidents every once in a while but I am so happy with how quickly we were able to tackle potty training. I received some criticism and weird looks when i told people that I was training my 22 month old but in our case it worked out! And i am sure happy it did!
