About six months ago I began trying to potty train Brooklynne. I didn't know where to begin and she had little to no interest. After a frustrating few days we decided to give it a rest. We tried to pick it up here and there in the following months, however, I must admit that being early on in my pregnancy I was lacking the energy and motivation.
A couple of weeks ago I noticed Brooklynne becoming more and more independent and acting more like the three year old that she will soon be and not so much like young two year old so I knew it was time. To my surprise it came pretty easily for us! Everything seemed to "click" for her. We spent a few days at home and celebrated every potty. When we did start going out I was super nervous and didn't want her to slip back into the ease of diapers but turns out she much prefers her big girl undies and let me know she only sleeps in pull ups....ummm okay kid!
After every potty I would look at her and say "I'm so proud of you Brooklynne" and she would grin ear to ear. Since she pretty much goes on her own now I haven't told her that every time, but today she came up to me after going and says "I'm so proud of you mommy"... Yeah I melted and then grinned ear to ear. Thank you my dear, we did it together.
