I know! 6 months ago we were just home from our New Year's trip to DL and dealing with the crying issue for another 2 month! I still can't believe it took me almost 6 months to finally get the dress in her size!! It runs a little big so she'll be able to get lots of wear out of it!! I loved seeing her smile and surprise when I pulled it out of the box. I unfortunately didn't have the camera ready for her first look but you can see the joy in her face once she has it on. One thing I really like about it is it's not that scratchy material. It's actually very soft!! Thanks I think it was a great decision also! James kept asking to dance with her because she looked like a real Princess!! It was soooo cute!! But she wasn't in the mood to dance.
Thanks for the wishes for potty training! I'll hopefully go quickly once we start. I'll keep you posted. I think it may take some time but they all usually get it. Hope Lisa is still feeling better!
Yeah I do want to go but we both know there are a couple things keeping me from it right now. And it's not all bad which is the best part!!
Loved Lisa's movie night!!! I loved the plates! So much fun! I really want to do that with mine but I just have a problem finding the time to do it. Maybe I'll make a movie day right now since they are on summer break and do some fun stuff like that. Will do both Jeremy and Sarah good to keep practicing writing and cutting when we do activities. Can't wait to see what Rachel comes up with and what your surprise is!!!
I found rewards worked really well with my oldest (if he went one day he got a sticker, if he went a week, he got a toy, 2 weeks another toy, 3 weeks, another toy and by the 4th week he got a really nice
Lego set since that's what he is into). Once we started training him I want to say it took us a good month before he would go completely dry during the day and night.
My daughter basically trained in 3 days (if that). She started Preschool on her 3rd birthday and came home dry wanting to use the potty. Found out she had used the potty at school too. Then she wanted to do it herself but needed help putting her diaper back on and didn't like that so I put her in pull ups for a week (I should have just went to panties because she never wet them!!) She was sooo easy I basically didn't have to do anything to train her. She saw all the other kids going and I think she basically thought I want to do that and she did. Haven't had a single accident with her (expect for once at DL but that was Daddies fault, he didn't listen to her when she said she had to potty).
Have any questions we're all here to help. We did the timer thing with my oldest too. Where I'd set a timer for every 10 mins and then extend it 10 mins as I learned how long he could hold it for. Also made him go potty after every meal and before and after bed. Hope I'm not giving to much info but I found it frustrating to but tried to stay calm about it all because I found if I stressed about it he'd hide when it was time to go. Good luck!
Thanks! Sofia has become a favorite in our house lately and this was her reward for no more crying at school.
