Potty Training – The 2nd Time

Veronika

For the past 3 days, Veronika has been using the potty and been diaper free during the day! This is very exciting for us because we’ve been changing diapers pretty much non-stop for the past 3 1/2 years and are excited to see an end in sight.

Potty training Natasha was HARD… I started at age 2 and got nowhere. I kept retrying, but in the end I learned that just because I was ready, did not mean that she was. And once I took it slowly, she potty trained over a 3-day period at 2 years and 9 months. It was a breeze once she was ready!

Veronika is a different story entirely. Veronika has been watching her sister use the potty for months & months now, and about three days ago, she started using it too. She’s only 2 years and a month. MUCH younger. She’s very excited about her new achievement, as is her proud older sister. She still has the occasional accident, but they’re becoming less frequent with each day. We’re REALLY hoping to be completely diaper-free soon and just use the occasional pull-up… that day shall come. My baby is growing up!

Excellent, I'm jealous! I've been changing diapers for 5 1/2 yeasrs straight and with the new baby coming I have no end in sight. Carrie has been showing a lot of interest in using the potty, but I'm not sure how that will play out when Katy arrives.

I find that PT is so different with every child. I thought I knew how it's done after Natasha, then Veronika went and PT'ed herself, it was so odd. I hope Carrie will train soon for you!
