This totally deserves it's own post. So this last week Marley and Michael both had this cold that's been going around- you know the one if your in our ward. So I thought this would be a great time since we would most likely be home the entire week to begin potty training with Marley.
Monday was a somewhat difficult day, but on Tuesday Marley really started catching on and we went accident free. Wednesday was a hard day but I take blame for part of it, because I wasn't able to give her my full attention. Since Wednesday, we haven't had an accident!!!!! Isn't it amazing what a little bit of bribery can do? Can I just say, Hallelujah?
Friday morning I had to run to Walmart, I was super hesitant because I didn't quite prepare myself for potty training. When I say that, I mean I read tons of material online and even a book but I had nothing other than panties and a potty. That means no pull ups or portable potty chair. I wasn't quite sure if Marley could make it, but when I tried to put her in a diaper she flat out refused. I took her to Walmart and probably looked like a freak. Imagine me, wearing Michael in a baby carrier and pushing Marley in a cart with a huge diaper bag because I have her potty seat stuffed inside, running through the store trying to make it out as fast as possible. While I'm repeatedly asking Marley "Do you need to go potty?" Thankfully we got in and out without any damage other than some impulsive purchases.
Marley picked out her panties and we bought some pull ups for nap and night time. She's done so awesome. I really didn't think she'd do so great, so fast. So there you have it. No more diapers. It's soooo nice not having to change two sets of diapers. This is a huge milestone and I've come to accept the fact that Marley's not a little baby anymore. I'm so proud of my big girl!

Well congrats! It's gotta be such a relief on you. Two kids in diapers is no fun. And what a big girl! She did such a good job. =)
Kaia started potty training last week but Thanksgiving through her off because they didn't have a little potty at their house. She will not sit on the big potty. I don't know what to do about that and the fact that she's not to keen on going #2 is causing some other problems as well. Ugh! I've only got a couple of weeks left before I'll have two in diapers the way we are going.
Woohoo!!! You've done so well (oh, and Marley too :-). Keep it up!
