Well, we have been forced into potty training!! Yes, I know Sophie is young to be doing this. Someone kept taking thier diapers off. Monday morning I walked into a poopy mess (to put it nicely) I kept my cool and just said that's it Sophie no more diapers we are using the potty. I will have to say that is is the hardest part of parenthood thus far (teenage years, I am sure will top this) For the last two days we have been doing what they call the "bare bottom" approach. Nothing on from the waste down. She was confined to the Dining room/Kitchen/Bathroom area for two days. She had a little TV to watch movies, books, a few toys and of course her potty chair. Yes, I thought the Doctor was crazy for telling me this also, but I tell ya, it works. After cleaning up pee a few times and reminding her constantly to use the potty, she got it. Last night she was so cute! She was trying to give Lily a high five, and she was mad that Lily didn't give her one back!! Today she was given more freedom and I let her play in the family room and play room. We also put panties on. So far today we have had only one poopy accident. She even, with out any reminders from me, pulled her panties down and peed on her own!!! The bottom pic is a chocolate smile from an M&M she got after she peed all by herself! I have two and half weeks left until I go back to work. I hope this all done by then!
