Potty Time

Well, it's been a whole week of potty training for Sage. We were terrified starting this process because we weren't sure if she was ready...or maybe it really was if Brad and I were ready!

But she did better than expected!!!

I wouldn't say she is completely potty trained- BUT, she rarely has any accidents!!

The first 2 days were hard (as to be expected!) We put her in training underwear so she knew what it felt like to pee her pants. Mandie gets most of all the credit for her really helping to train Sage, and Brad and I following up with trying to be consistent.

By day 4 and 5, Sage was letting us know she had to go potty. She would yell "potty...i go potty" and we literally dropped whatever we were doing and went straight to the toilet! It would take a few seconds and then we would hear that little ‘tinkle’ sound and to watch Sage’s face light up with pure happiness! We do it all- clap, jump up and down, do a potty dance, a little potty cheer, hands up in the air saying “you did it!!” Her repeating us in her cute voice “I id it!!”

So, yes, I would say we are pretty much on the road to great success!

She is still wearing pull-up diapers that we call “big girl undies” until we master the poop portion of potty training.

She completely understands the sensation of having to relieve herself, but getting her to the toilet in time for a BM is still a work in progress!

I must say- we only had a handful of accidents and they weren’t that bad! She did a lot better than I thought she would. She is a super start and glad we are now out of diapers for one kid! PHEW!!!!
