Potty Time

So Ais has taken the first steps into the big world of bathroom hygiene. We officially started potty training her on Saturday. We went all out and tried the 3 day potty training method which basically has you get rid of all the diapers and go straight to underwear. It was a pretty long, hard, and messy three days. It started off ok on Saturday, Sunday was really good and she even did a poo-poo in the potty, but as of last night Ais was screaming and running anywhere but to the potty when she had to go. Ais and I were so frustrated I decided to put her into Pull-Ups and meet somewhere in the middle. This morning she woke up and has used the potty all day today and only had one accident during nap time. It is amazing, it just clicked and she knows what to do and where to go. She also knows she gets and M&M when the deed is done, so I think that has helped as well. So for the most part Ais is potty trained or at least mostly potty trained. I don't have any pics of this momentous achievement, but then do you really want to see one anyway????

As for Xander, he has been a trooper through this whole thing too. Thank goodness he has recently gotten better at holding toys and getting them into his mouth at least for a few moments. So he doesn't mind being put down in the bouncer for a few minutes while I help his big sis.
