Crossing our fingers...

So it has been just over a month since we did the potty training thing. It has ended up going pretty well with just about 4 accidents since we started, minus the first day... which was horrible, yikes! So I mostly followed this book, Toilet Training in Less than a Day, that my sister suggested. I think the concept worked perfectly for Calvin.

We also had a little "potty party" with four other kids who were getting trained. I got the idea from this lady, The Potty Whisperer, that I saw on the Today Show. I think it worked for Cal, because he really loves getting praised. So far things are going better than I could have ever expected. People keep on warning me about the typical regression, so I don't feel like I am out of the woods yet, but we are crossing our fingers.

So I've been potty training Izzy for the last two weeks and we have had way more than four accidents. At least I feel comfortable taking her out in public now. Also, I'm a big fan of little bums in undies. It's too dang cute. Also, Happy Late Birthday! I stink at remembering b-days. Also, you look super cute!
