So this past Monday I decided that I was going to buckle down and make yet another attempt to potty train Karyl. I set the rules in my head...every 30 minutes she was going to sit on the toilet...and then we'd go from there.
I've done this before, and with working at the same time it's kind of difficult to check every 1/2 hour...but I did it....and at the beginning there were tears and screaming (from her end) but eventually she did it once, and then again...
And now it's almost a week later and guess what?? KARYL IS POTTY TRAINED!!!
This is the most amazing thing...we thought she'd be 4 before she decided to give in and use the toilet...she just refused to see the benefits (faster than changing a diaper...no more red butt...) and apparently this time was the time it clicked!!
I apologize for the lack of posting this last week but I've been dealing with the potty training...and while I have LOTS of great pictures from this past week (Karyl in her new Dora play tent, and Karyl at the Lowe's Kids Clinic yesterday...) we left the camera at Greg's parent's place....so we'll get it back when we see them on Friday (I think that's the next time we're going).
So, no pics, but I am SO proud to share that little K is officially potty trained!!! We can already hear the money going back into the bank account!!

Way to go!
can I pay you to fly up here and potty train Brooke now? :) This post so did not put a smile on my face....potty training has not gone well at our house. Not that I am not happy for you and Karyl....I have just decided with her pediatricians advice, to wait till after baby comes.
