After a few randomly successful trips to the potty, we decided to go all out on Rose's potty training. Mike was pretty flexible with his schedule which helped with the process. I had worried about taking Paige to school, etc. if Rose hadn't used the potty yet. On those days, Mike just stayed wither her and tried to get her to go while I was out with Paige. Rose didn't get out much for a few days, but with each day we had more and more success. Paige always responded well to sticker charts, and we had set one up for Rose a while back. Once she got going with the stickers on the chart it was a huge incentive. We told her when she finished the chart she would be able to pick out a toy from the toy store. After a few days her chart was done and by that point she was going every time in the potty, even telling us when she had to go.
Here is a picture of Rose putting the last sticker on the chart. She had just woken up from her nap and was able to go before getting Paige from school. We all went out to the toy store afterwards and after wandering the store for a long time she picked out some Disney princess figurines.
At the beginning she alternated between the small potty and sitting on the big toilet with the potty seat. Now, a few weeks later, she tends to choose the toilet. I'm glad as there is no clean up. She has seen Paige only using the toilet of course, so she is fine to use that too. When we go out she just holds herself up on regular toilets and can go with no issues. No lugging potties around for us! sick. Since she has been fully trained she has had 1 real accident, which was luckily at home. Also, her undies are always completely dry. When we started the training process we put away all the diapers. One of the first nights she peed in her bed first thing in the morning, as she forgot. Since then nothing. I was so happy to put away that diaper genie!
I'm so proud of Rose, she's so confident now with the whole process. She remembers to flush the toilet and wash her hands too.
