i can now officially say, our olive bugs is potty trained!! it is still so weird to me, that she isn't in diapers anymore. that just means she keeps growing up and i just want time to stand still. she is such a sweetheart and was such a little trooper.
i can hands down say that potty training is my least favorite thing about being a parent thus far!! i would much rather deal with throw up, poop, you name it! it was so stressful for not only me, but for olive as well. throwing something so new at your little ones is always so overwhelming.
the first couple days were rough, but i also was REALLY proud of her! day one we had 2 accidents in the morning with 3 successes- she woke up from her nap with a dry pull up and immediately went potty in the toilet! but then she had 9 accidents to 2 successes which made me really bummed and ready for a new day!
day 2 was awesome!! we woke up and took her straight to the toilet. and she went pee right away! she had 1 accident to 3 successes before her afternoon nap.
we have tried a few techniques to keep her motivated and excited!! we all know how much olive loves chocolate, so she has mini snickers & kit kat's that she gets to choose each time she goes potty in the toilet!
most people i have heard, have a hard time with getting them to go number 2 while potty training. olive has been going poop in the toilet for quite a few months now. she basically trained herself, so we haven't had to worry about that!
we have also tried singing, reading books, telling stories, coloring, bringing her play doh, showing scotti, you name it, to the potty to keep her relaxed while on the toilet!
i am so proud of her and it is seriously such a huge relief to have this milestone accomplished!! go olive!
