Joe and I decided that we'd try getting serious with potty training while I was home with Sydney over spring break next week. It is the first extended period of time where one of us could try to be consistent as far as potty training goes--if it doesn't stick we'll just continue as best we can until summer time. I got some ideas from our daycare provider today and also implemented a sticker chart. She got to pick out which chart she wanted--she chose Diego. :) We printed off two and she got to pick out where we hung it up--she chose her bathroom door (she can see it from her potty!). I told her that each time she pottied on the potty she would get to put a sticker up on the chart (thanks to Aunt Bailey we have close to 400 stickers I think of Dora and Diego! :) ) After we hung up her chart she tried going to the bathroom but didn't. I told her she could try again before her bath--she did try again and was SUCCESSFUL! :) I'm trying not to get my hopes up because I know it can be very up and down, but Joe and I were both so excited for her and she kept saying "I did it! I did it!" :)
