I think I bought our first potty a year ago and have slowly been encouraging Peanut to use it. She started off pretty good and then lost all interest. After I became pregnant potty training was one of my goals before the baby arrived, along with moving to a big girl bed and getting rid of the binky. As the pregnancy flew by I realized that these were pretty lofty goals and that I should probably just settle for one of them. :) Three weeks ago we took on the big girl bed and have had a success. One down, two to go!
Lately she's been showing a lot more interest in the potty. Particularly when we're at one of the grandparents. Which is great, but then once we get home it fades. Well that's all changed. She's been doing very well without any "training." She goes pee pee several times a day and yesterday she went poopy in the potty!!! I was floored!! And to top it off, tonight she went again! I'm pretty proud of her and amazed that she's doing it all without my pushing. Now she definitely doesn't stay dry all day or anything, but I think she's doing great. And since I'm pretty sure she'll regress when the baby arrives, I'm just fine with how things are going. :)
And for those of you wondering if the binky is gone, that's a big fat no. I'm pretty sure she'll need that comfort item when the baby arrives and 2 out of 3 ain't bad!

Good Job Mommy!!! Way to go Peanut!!! Those are huge milestones and one should be very proud!!!
That's so great! It is a lot of work to stay on top of it. The poop is a huge step! I know I have mentioned several times but when Ella did that the first time she stopped wanting to use the potty! We got her back on again and I am hoping we will start progressing again.
She may not regress. I would definitely bet on the binky coming back though even if you got rid of it now. Good work Mommy and Peanut!
hooray for progress! yeah, we took a stab at potty training this past summer with no luck and just put it aside. Then, go figure, they decided last week - the day after we came home with Adam - that they wanted to use the potty. Not much luck - but they are interested again...not very good timing tho! haha! That's the last thing I want to tackle right now...haha! But I don't want to discourage them either so we'll let them go if they ask.
Our kiddos don't have binkys but they have their blankies. We usually only allow them in their room at bedtime - but allowed free reign last week - it was hard getting them back in their rooms this week - for Jacob especially. Getting better tho. We 'can't' take away his thumb tho and that's been used a lot more lately, too! ugh!
Oh I am SO jealous!! Good for Maya. You are farther along than I am for sure, Mackenzie is still in a crib:)
I'm very excited to see your new little one.
Thanks for all your support via my blog as well. It really means so much!
