Potty Training

Yes, I am certifiably crazy! For some reason, I constantly find the need to complicate situations when there really is no need. We moved the girls into big girl beds on the Sunday after they turned two and we started "potty training boot camp" two days later. WHAT WAS I THINKING???? Well, we were waiting for life to settle down from all of the family visits and birthday/baptism festivities and we HAD to do the boot camp while Wes had a week off of school for Fall Break, so there really was no way around it... yes, we could have waited until his next break, but that would not have been nearly as crazy, and y'all know I have to make things difficult! Smooches to my sweet husband who gave up his "relaxing" break and helped SOOOO MUCH that week and went back to school after his break WAY more tired and stressed out than he was before. We used the 3 day potty training method that we found on line through a friend from seminary. It didn't work. I don't care what you say...a 24 month old does not need to be given the authority to tell ME when they need to go to the bathroom. We spent 6 days and 8 rolls of paper towels and two bottles of vinegar before we decided to trash that method and set the oven timer to make them go every hour...it worked like a charm! We have now been diaper free for FIVE weeks with no day time accidents and only one or two night time accidents!! Our last pack of diapers...
