"Listen!"

We started potty training Rylie. It has been hilarious. She is 2 years and 4 months...but needs to be trained by August so to start preschool. Let the fun begin!

We had two days of learning and having lots of accidents. A few memorable moments:
1. Rylie peeing in her pants on the floor...and then running to tell us that she had an accident. There were pee footprints all the way to us! Ha! (This happened 2 times in one day...)
2. Rylie had her first poop accident. It fell out of her underwear, hit the front of the toilet and plopped onto the floor. At the sight and smell of it, she immediately began to throw-up multiple times...into the toilet. At least that got into the toilet!
3. When attempting to "go" on the potty, and could not...she would exclaim, "It's stuck! It's stuck!" Ha!

Needless to say, after day 2 we thought we had a LONG way to go. We had NO successes after day 2.

BUT

Day 3 and Day 4, she got it. We have had really no accidents and she is hitting the mark!!!! We are so proud of Rylie. She is doing great!

When she sits on the toilet...she puts her hand up to her ear and says, "Listen." I guess she likes the sound of her pee hitting her froggy potty, and thinks we do to. And she is right! Ha!

Anywho...good-bye diapers!!!!!!!!!!!
