It's that time again

Eliza has been ready to use the potty exclusively for a few months now.  I just didn't prepare myself for it until a couple weeks ago.  What I mean by preparing myself, is that I have to mentally prepare myself for accidents, because they will and do happen.  So 2 1/2 weeks ago off came the diapers and on went the underpants.

For the most part it has been smooth sailing.  It took her about a week to figure out the timing of getting to the toilet in time to poop there.  You would have thought I won the sweepstakes by how excited I got when she got to the toilet all by herself and yelled from it "Momma I poo-poo potty!!!!"  I could have cried I was that happy and excited.

I am so grateful that Sarah over at Clover Lane shared her years of experience in this post    a little more than a year ago.  It was a life saver for me when I potty trained Kady and now Eliza.  Cause in the past with the first 3 children, it was not a pretty sight to watch me potty train the kids.  I nearly went crazy with the thoughts of accidents.  I love how we learn and change and grow.  Anyway, I am off to make lunch and get Lucy to school.

Wahoo! Honestly though Pam, if anyone can manage potty training it would be you. You could write a book on how to be the best mother. =)
