And the Award goes to ....TAYLOR

So the hair is a sign of a very busy day, you pick & choose your battles & hair was not one I chose on the last day of potty training.

Wow what a week shots for Rilee on Tuesday and Potty Training for Taylor Wednesday through Friday. Yep potty trained in three days even nights all thanks to my friend Darla who used Lora Jensens Potty Training in 3 Days and told me about it just go to 3daypottytraining.com if interested. This method was the best for Taylor she did awesome and it was so much better than my 1st attempt this last summer with another book. Taylor learned quickly her own body signals. The 1st night she woke up dry, the 2nd night one small accident, and the 3rd night she got up on her own to go potty and woke up dry. The days were just as great (don't get me wrong there are those moments, especially with an infant) she only had 8 accidents the 1st day and 8 potties on the toilet, the 2nd day about 4 accidents and 9 times on the potty and the 3rd day 27 times on the potty, lots of fluid, and 1 accident just before bed, which was actually more my fault, she headed to the potty but I thought she was just playing to stay up but she wasn't, anyway small mess. I am SO PROUD of her she has been awesome and has done EXCELLENT. With the right words & Patience, Love & Consistency Taylor was Potty Trained in 3 days. Here is a recap of our last couple days.
Putting make-up on like mommy does, "Oh Beautiful" she'd say. Like the John Deere hat, her favorite.
Playing with her Dolly's many times. Leading music like in church, this was the only picture she would let me get but she loves to lead music, or pretend anyway. Tea time with the Babies even an interactive baby. Rilee got the "Good" sister award for be so patient most of the time while Mommy would run Taylor to the potty.

Daddy helping out with bath time, dinner time & bedtime or whatever I asked.


Oh the games we played, memory, fish, learned ABC's, Tea Time, Dress up & more. Side by side all 3 days.
All in all we had a great 3 days. Yes very stressful at times, but very rewarding by day three. We are very proud of our Taylor & she is too. Oh ya Taylor learned when you go potty your a good girl, even when your daddy, "Good girl daddy" she'd say.

Okay, so I had to tell you this story. The other day I was teasing Jason and asked if he had a girlfriend in nursery and he said yes. When I asked him who he said Taylor. Adorable!
