Hello all i am just so proud of my girl I want to shout from the rooftops. All my friends and family are asleep, however, so I thought maybe I’d come here instead 🤣

So I introduced the potty to Matilda when she was about 18 months old (at Christmas 2019) and had this fantasy that she would start training right away lmao I’m a funny person. So fast forward a year and a few months haha and Matilda wakes up with a dry diaper. She has peed on the potty here and there throughout the year but never any real commitment. Tuesday she woke up with a dry diaper and I took the plunge. I downloaded this app called potty whiz where you can set a timer and track things like when they drank, how much, if they had an accident, if they went potty and what they did like pee or poop. It’s pretty simple to use and free which is perfect. Anyway back to my story. Sorry we go on a lot of side quests here in Molly Land 🤣 so Tuesday I said oh Matilda your diaper is dry! Wanna sit on the potty? I’ll let you watch Netflix! So she was surprisingly open to the idea, sat and peed right away! Ok so here we go, let’s give it another shot. I got the old thick cloth training panties out and guys I am so proud. She’s been doing so good. So good in fact, that today I decided to try to take her out shopping in her training panties. While we were out, I had her sit on her little potty when the timer would go off and then once we were in goodwill browsing, she said “mommy have to pee!” And I rushed for the bathroom key thinking there’s no way she’ll make it this is taking forever, but there wasn’t a single drop of pee in her panties!! Then tonight when we were getting ready for bed she flipped her lid about wearing a diaper to bed. We settled on a middle ground of wearing a pull up to bed. I told her if she comes down tmrw with a dry pull up, I will let her sleep in training panties going forward.

So that’s my mom brag moment lol how is potty training going for you?

Oh andddd she pooped in the potty today! I haven’t really done anything different except cut back on and time her liquids more thoughtfully. She basically gets 3 cups of liquid breakfast lunch and snack time which is usually like 830-9, 1230ish, and around 3-330. Then around supper time(6ish) I’ll give her a small drink just to wet her whistle.

I set the timer to every 45 minutes cuz that seems to be the sweet spot for her. I also have her go when she wakes up in the morning and after her nap, and have her go before her nap and before bed
