I am happy to report that after 3 days of potty training, and 1 day to tie up loose ends, we have 0 diapers in our house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
H-A-L-L-E-L-U-J-A-H!!
We used
this method, and HIGHLY recommend it! The 3 Day Method is written by the sister of Jesus Christ, I can only assume she is related. Honestly, the process sucked. The method focuses on having the child tell you when they have to go verses dragging them to the bathroom (I tried that before). Up until the end of the 2nd day, I thought I was going to pull my hair out, and we were delirious...and then something magical happened. I'll spare you the personal details, but it involves poop. I'm sure it also has to do with the fact that I decided to train two 2 year-olds during daylight savings...YEAH, an extra hour of training starting at 5 am (slams head against wall)!!! On the 3rd day I was home alone, I had showered, drank more than a cup of coffee before 7 am & was prepared for the battlefield. There was a point where I was literally running around the house like a maniac, and I'm sure TLC would have picked up my show. By nap time those darling, little terrors were independently going to the bathroom!! I am afraid to see my water bill next month, but I'm sure the money I'm not spending on diapers will make up for the 97 flushes a day. Today we focused on going potty with real clothing on, getting back into our normal routine & we made 1 short trip to cast our vote! It is truly amazing that we trained them within 4 days! Wait! Did I mention that Miss Paige has stayed dry during all naps and at night? and that Cam is 50/50? Not too shabby!! Below are a few photos of of weekend, not a ton since we were like chickens with our heads cut off!
We had lots of incentives for the weekend...larger rewards for larger..."deposits."
We had a tiny bit of fun, but nothing that I would ever want to do again!
We decided that we should have plastic on the carpet 24/7....
I think they are over liquids...the more liquids, the more opportunities to potty!
Staying dry at night requires 3-5 trip to the potty before bed....do what you need to do kid.
It was easier to camp out in the hall till everyone was empty!
Who says boy can't play with dollhouses?
Taking a picture of himself, this is when we were delirious.
Waiting for Nature to Call...
Ahhh, outsiders! Welcome to our pee palace!
Back in real clothes! Well, not me...it was my "day off!"
Next up, the Big T-H-R-E-E!
