Potty Training Update

Jeremy started working with Hayden on potty training last week when she was home sick. When I got home from work I would continue working with her on it. She's not to the point when she will tell us when she has to go potty. But, we have trained ourselves to ask her and just take her at certain times during the day whether she says she has to go or not. That seems to be working really well! When she goes on the potty she gets to wear big girl undies, stick a sticker on the chart, and gets a piece of candy. The big sticker on the bottom left hand side is because she poo pooed in the potty for the first time this morning! She called it a "major yuck".

Here are some funny potty training moments:

One day Hayden and I were in the car together. We were in Old Town and got stopped by the train. I told her to look outside and watch out for what was coming. When she saw it she said, "That's my potty train! I want to ride the potty train." Jerm had been talking to her about potty training and I guess she was picturing a train the whole time!

Hayden: I'm finished

Mommy: Ok, I'll help you off the potty.

Hayden: No, I'm not done. I'm finished.

Mommy: Ok, are you done?

Hayden: No, I'm finished. Need to go potty.

Mommy: Hayden, done means finished....are you done?

Hayden: No, I'm finished I'm not done yet.

Mommy: Ok, you just tell me when you are all done then!
