And when I say intense, I mean don't leave your house all weekend, feel like you're going stir crazy kinda intense. Potty training boot camp if you will!
I have a lot of thoughts about the method I choose, some good and some bad. I feel very, very tired today. It was a crazy weekend.
Friday, our first sticker on the potty chart.
By, Friday evening I was tired and I wanted to cry. Actually I did, but I'll save all the drama of this experience for another post.
By, Saturday we were making progress. More stickers on the chart!
This week is a fun week for us in our home! We're 6 days a away from Ava turning two! Someone tell me how we got here so fast?! I can hardly believe it. Yes, I'm one of those Mothers that now sits back in awe and is a little sad that she's growing so fast! Put me in that group, and I'm ok with it.
We have guests coming into town tonight! Yesterday, we spent the day cleaning and getting ready for our guests. We have a tiny place, and I'm thankful that Grandma Carolynn and Aunt Jess are coming and putting up with our conditions in order to be here for Ava's special day!
Ava loved the air mattress so much she fell asleep on it last night. She was just breaking it in for them. I'm excited for them to get here, and thankful they are coming. It's going to be a great week spending time with family and celebrating Ava's birthday!
What are you looking forward to this week?

I came across your blog from "A Place For Us". I just potty trained my 2nd child and posted my journey on my blog http://bishopsfamilysite.blogspot.com/2012/02/day-1-potty-training-owen.html
ReplyDeleteWe do an intense 3 day method and I can relate to your tiredness and intensity. Not leaving the house and staring at your child all day can sure take it out of a Mommy.
Hang in there and keep encouraging yourself. Your daughter will get it :) I have to admit, potty training is probably my least favorite part of parenting thus far! But, once they conquer it, they really see themselves as Big Kids, which is adorable!
Blessings to you!

Thanks for stopping by! I agree, by far the hardest thing I've done in parenting thus far. I'll be checking out your post for some more tips!
