adventures in potty training

i must start with the disclaimer.

*i am no potty training genius.*

i will not claim to be.

but i seriously think my kids are.

i have heard horror stories,

you know,

the people who are constantly cleaning messy undies and pants,

changing beds,

sitting in their homes for days on end while their kid sits on the toilet with a sippy cup.

somehow the rahbars are talented at this stuff.

i must also preface this with a little story.

i did attempt potty training a a few months ago.

hanna was doing great with the potty

but then i would find her carrying her feces around the house,

either in her potty

or in her hand

to deposit in her toy kitchen sink (?)

i cleaned alot of carpet spots

and gagged repeatedly

until i took the potties away and declared failure.

but with all of hanna's potty talk

i decided she was ready and tried again.

one accident.

i am not kidding people.

one.

she is a rock star.

she doesn't even tell me when she needs to go,

she just goes to the potty.

how awesome is that?

and during nap time?

no accidents.

i must say that my kids are not scared of the great outdoors

so peeing (and even pooping) in the mulch is extremely exciting.

and i am not opposed to it

especially if it saves their pants.

now,

for three months,

i do not have to change diapers.

three whole months,

that is the longest period ever in the past seven years!

before i start all over again.

yay me!
