We finally gave in to Sienna's begging for us to let her use the Big-girl potty.
I was caught up in the desire to do it the "right way", (for all you perfectionists out there, the "right way" can be found in the book, Toilet Training in Less than A Day. Its very detailed, and usually works. We did it with Grace.)
And, finally Royal convinced me with a, "Let's just get some pull-ups and let her try."
So, I let Sienna pick out the coolest Pull Ups she could find, and she chose Lightning McQueen Cars. And I told her she could have one everyday that she put her Poopoo into the potty.
Well, long, unnecessary story short: This is our 3rd day with a dry bed, dry panties all day (including nap time), and we haven't even used a Pull up every day.
Sienna is truly a woman with her own mind. And, since becoming a "Big Girl", she seems a LOT more content and happy in general. In celebration, I'm going to have a "Mommy Date" with just me and her and we're going to go pick out the coolest panties ever, and some new Potty-friendly pajamas. I am really happy for her. (And me!!!)

Hey that is great! I love it when kids learn how to control their bodies! We miss you here in Savannah, but glad to hear you are doing well up there. We will be moving again this summer. How fun. Congrats on you little man. He's a cutie!
Talk later

Yes, a switch kinda went off in Maya's head with the whole potty thing. I tried every technique known to man (videos, books, rewards/bribes) but she was never ready. She wasn't ready to be a "kid" and not a baby anymore, basically. Now I own a whole pack of expensive pull-ups.
Your family just gets more and more beautiful each time I see you. Wishing you all well!
