Potty Training


We decided to take the big step and transition Tess from Diapers to Panties. Clayton and I bought her a bunch of panties and set up the potty in the living and starting one Friday we hit the ground running. We had a rough time the first couple of days but by Sunday peeing in the potty had clicked and Tess has not turned back since. Tess has always had a hate-hate relationship with poop. We started with regulating her bowel movements and she has started to make progress by pooping in the potty. We started with not pooping at all, moved to pooping in her panties, and then moved to her telling us while pooping in her panties. She has progressed to giving us a little lead time to get her to the potty and has pooped in the potty several times. She gets excited when she goes in the potty because she gets to feed her pig (piggy bank).


As you can see from the pictures this was a process, on Saturday she didn’t want to take a nap until her and I were watching a movie and she passed out in my arms. It was a hard weekend but overall I am glad we took the plunge

 



At one point we tried to use the iPad to get Tess to use the potty, we tried anything and everything. In the end she needed to decide when she wanted to start using the potty.
