Big girl Abby

We have had a long journey with potty training. We started almost 1 yr ago & at the beginning it seemed like it was going to be an easy journey. Abby went from diapers to Pull ups right away but, then she would throw fits every time she was taken to the bathroom.

We have learned you need patience (neither of us have) time, (with twins, are you kidding. Not sure what that is) & not in the middle of moving to a new place. People have given us advise & some even say it is easy (those people have only one kid or no kids). I have come to the conclusion that when we started Abby was just not ready. We were getting nervous & embarrassed because she will be 3 yrs old in Jan.

Success at last......We hope!

About 4 days ago Abby came to me & told me she needed to go pee-pee before actually going in her pull ups. She has now gone to wearing underwear only unless it is "quiet time" or "Nite Nite". We have had a couple mishaps but, my girl is finally a big girl.

Moral of the story is: If kids are not ready, they are not ready & will do it in their own time, not yours.

Now, potty training the twinkies???? They are moving to Utah around that time & spend some quality time with Papa & Gramma!!!!
