Potty Training 101
Well, now that I'm home for a while with Gwyneth, I've decide that it's time to introduce the potty to our little girl. I'm not sure the amount of success that we'll have, but I know after a little research that it is possible for a child at this young age to actually be potty trained. So we've begun to have diaper free times - for this I'm thankful that we have wood floors throughout much of our house. Right now we're working on a bodily awareness. It seems that with the absorbency of the modern diaper, Gwyneth rarely even realizes when she goes to the bathroom, when it streams down her legs when there is no diaper, she certainly notices that! Yes, we've had puddles, but we've also had some potty hits (both #1 and #2! - pretty good for a 15 month old). We'll take it one day at a time, but with any luck, we might have a potty trained child in a few months...we might not, but we won't win if we don't give it a try.

I started doing diaper-free times with Avery and one of the first times was a hoot! I was in the kitchen and all of a sudden I hear "oh man, what's that?" I go running into his bedroom to find him holding a fresh poop that had landed on the floor. Now he has become aware of the fact that if he doesn't have a diaper, he has to tell me he has to go potty. Apparently that is too much work for him, because he insists on wearing a diaper! Have fun with this new adventure.
