Potty Training Round 2

I haven't blogged in a while because Joya woke up last Wed. and said she is a big girl and didn't want to wear a diaper anymore she wanted to wear panties!! She made the decision and has gone with it. There was a build up to her decision, about two days before her birthday we went to some friends house for dinner. Their youngest boy is 2.5 yrs old and just potty trained and was telling Joya that Timmy is a baby because he wears diapers, and that he wasn't because he went pee pee in the potty. She listened to him and wanted to go pee in the potty that night, it wasn't a big deal we put her on the potty every night before bath time, so I didn't think anything about it. On her birthday she went to the doctor and the doctor told her she couldn't have her pubby outside of her bed because she was a big girl now. She also asked me if Joya was potty training, I said no, but I think it will be happening soon because she loves sitting on the potty! We had a fantastic birthday party and the next day she said, "I'm a big girl!" Se we went with it! She has done excellent! Saturday she didn't have one accident, Sunday was a mess! We set her up for failure there, because she is still in the "Starfish"room, there is no potty in there. I tried to come and take her to the potty every 20 min, but it was just a few minutes too late! She also pooped while she was there, which is normal, but it was not normal for it to run down her legs!! That was a huge mess! After church we went down to Eugene for Tim to see a good friend that was in town, and she did great all the way there and back! Monday she did not have an accident with peeing but she pooped on the rug and then made it to the potty the second time. She completely has the peeing down but the poop is another story. She even prayed for it last night to happen in the potty last night!

Here is a picture of where we have set up camp in the kitchen for her to have quick and easy access! Oh and the other big motivation is that she gets a m&m for every time she makes it in the potty. She gets several if she goes poop in the potty!!

This is a picture of the dress I made her. i got the fabric on clearance at JoAnn Fabrics for 3 dollars a yard. The dress cost me 2dollars and I had the ribbon for the straps!! I thought it was a cute dress. It has ballerinas on the bottom, and ballet shoes and crowns on the top...very cute and Joya loves it!
