and baby makes 6!

It's just another day in paradise

Yes, she’s going to the potty, potty

Is this a girl thing? I mean, I did nawthing. She potty trained herself. The boys? They were sawmthing else altogether.

I brought down the little wooden potty from the attic, and turned her loose on it.

Oh, and I popped this tape into the video player

Once Upon a Potty

And now she uses the potty every day.

    What a big girl! She looks so proud of herself!
    Our daughter trained herself at 18 months. I was very glad to be done with the diaper detail, then!
    Since I did the daycare for our grandsons, it fell to me to also train them. (mostly)
    I had thought those days were behind me!
    (and now they are!!!)

    I love Prudence! I almost wish I had a child to potty train just so I could pull out the Prudence movie and book!

    I think it is a girl thing. Three of my girls were super easy to potty train. They just decided it was time and that was it.
    Of course Mr. Bill did the same thing, but he had the influence of four older sisters as well as mom and dad.

    Either way, Congrats to you both!

    Yippee! No more diapers for you! (mostly) Maybe it is a baby #4 thing! I have 3 girls – all different potty-trainers. But baby #4 – a boy – pretty much just potty trained himself this Spring. I had worried about all that strange plumbing, but he did terrific! He loved the potty chair and thought it was part of a real Train! (He loves trains.)

    That’s wonderful! I hope that it will be as easy with my son, but I’m sure it won’t

    We watched that video and read the book. My daughter, also, potty trained herself. I’m so bad . . . we would be in line at the store and she would want to go to the potty. I would say, “Just go in your pull-up.” She would refuse. I hope the next one will be that easy. Thanks for visiting me.

    My daughter trained herself as well. She just made up her mind one day and that was that. I’ve heard boys can be challenging to say the least.

    Please, please, please, may it be this easy for me too!
