NO more diapers for Morgan

Last Tuesday we decided that it was time to potty train Morgan. I read the book "potty training in less than a day" which is a really old book. My mom actually used it to train me and my siblings and almost all of my friends used the same technique so we figured we'd start with that. We have her potty train a doll that pees and then once she does that, she does the process herself. They suggest training with a little potty chair in the kitchen since it's easily accessible and easy to clean up any accidents. Once they got the training down, you move the potty to the bathroom. Well the first day was rough. She had four accidents in 4 hours and I felt like a failure. Then the next day, she just started going all by herself!!! It was awesome. Today is day Five and she is doing great. Yesterday she did not have a single accident.

Now here is a funny story for you all to enjoy.

We were having some people over for the July 4th holiday and I was mopping the kitchen floor the night before then Todd and I went to bed. The next morning Todd said he was sleeping, and felt a little finger poking him in the arm. He finally realized he wasn't dreaming and it was Morgan trying to wake him up. He let her climb into bed, but being a wiggly two year old, she wouldn't sit still and kept asking for "breakfast time". Finally she said "I have to go potty". So he sent her out the room and told her he'd meet her out there.

They were gone a few minutes and Todd came back in the room where I was still half asleep and asked me where I put the potty chair after I mopped. I was still groggy and said "Isn't it back on the kitchen floor?" Todd just kinda smiled at me, and it dawned on me where it was!

From July 4th 2009

We both started cracking up! I had left it up on the chair when I was mopping, and Todd said when he walked into the room, he saw Morgan teetering on top of the chair trying to go potty and just had to get the camera. It was hysterical!!!! Well... at least she still went...we are so proud :)
