Potty Train McCall ... Check

I have been wanting to get McCall potty trained since before Diesel was born. But she was never really ready, and looking back, neither was I. But I can officially say McCall is potty trained now. I purchased a book online that was potty train in three days. I read it through and gathered the things I would need, set a date to start, and got my courage up to truly try potty training her. 

I will admit I was a bit nervous of what was to come, because previous times I would try she would have numerous accidents and hardly ever made it to the toilet. So I was just thinking to myself, I don't even care if it is done in three days, just as long as she is getting the concept within the three days. 

The books method was to have her completely naked the first day, have her and I in tight quarters with each other and close to the potty chair. It didn't suggest treats, just praise from dad and mom, aunts and unles, grandparents (Phone calls, etc..). Set the timer for 20 minutes and faithfully take her each time it went off. If she didn't go, it's ok. If i see her pee, I quickly scoop her up and run her to the potty saying no no pee pee goes in the toilet not on the floor. 

Day two the book suggest completely naked first half of the day following same guidelines, and then putting panties on in afternoon. 

By the third day, let the child roam further from the potty but still only in panties and still watching them close to catch accidents when they occur. 

This method was a huge success for McCall, it also could have been that she was actually ready this time and that I actually took the time to research a method that would work for us and put the time into it that I needed to. Mark and I are so proud of little miss Mac and are even more excited not to have two kids in diapers. McCall does so good throughout the day making it to the toilet. She still hasn't got the concept of giving herself more time to get to a potty...if she needs to go its like right now! And I usually know she has to go potty when she says "hurry hurry" and is running to the bathroom. So it still makes me skeptical of going anywhere for a long period of time. But I'm sure she will get better and better each month. She is really enjoying wearing panties too. And you should hear her say panties ...cutest thing ever. She corrects mark if he calls them underwear and tells him they are panties.

When she was good and potty trained, mark took her on a date to the planes movie. She LOVES movies and had a blast. 

Mark said she ate like half of that huge tub of popcorn.
