Potty Training

For the last month or so, I've been thinking Emry has been getting ready to potty train, but I just wasn't sure I was ready to take on that task, so I kept putting it off and putting it off. Well, 2 weeks ago, I decided to just go for it. With new baby boy arriving in 2 months, I decided it was either now or not until the baby was at least 3 months old (so 5 months away). I thought it was putting it off too long if I was going to wait that long, so I just went for it!

Day 1 was totally awful. We did have 3 total successes but we had like 20 accidents and I actually had to do laundry during Emry's nap to get her more clean underwear. By the end of the day, I was really exhausted and my large, pregnant body was aching and sore. (Just ask Ryan, I was beat!) And honestly, I was pretty discouraged. 

Day 2 was much better. We had way more successes and less accidents. And even the accidents we did have were not huge like Day 1. They were much smaller. Also, Emry pooped on the potty with NO problem. She has had no issues with poop pretty much the whole time we've been potty training. (Huge blessing!) 

Day 3 and on: She pretty much has it down. Every day she gets better and better. When she has to go she will say, "pee pee" and then I have to run her to the bathroom. Normally, I don't have very much time to get her on the toilet, but even that is getting better and better. 

We did it!!! (Ok, this is only day 2, but it felt like a victory after a rough day 1!!! haha)

Emry is definitely growing up and isn't my baby anymore. It makes me very sad, but it's also fun to have not changed a diaper for 2 weeks now!
