Happy belated Memorial Day! Hope you had a great holiday weekend. Could we have asked for better weather?!?!
Potty training started first thing Friday morning up at the camper...and it did not go too well. Let's just say lots of underwear was gone through. After attempting for a few hours with much resistance from the girls, we decided to load up the boat and head out on the lakes for the day. The potty chair on the boat didn't get used much that day, but we didn't really want to push it too much with the girls. We did, however, enjoy a day on the water, a visit to "The Rock" and an ice cream treat from Hardees.
Saturday started off about the same...so once again we loaded up the boat and headed to one of our favorite beaches for the day. Again the potty chair was not being used...but we tried. The day was cut short when Sydney got sick, a little too much heat and sun. With Sydney not feeling so well, we headed back to the camper, turned on the air and dropped the whole potty training.
Sunday, much cooler and rainy. Grandma Shelley, I and the girls hung out at the camper and took it easy. Sydney was still not feeling 100%, so I didn't push potty training too much...but would ask if they had to use the potty. Daddy spent most of the day cutting up trees for fire wood.
Monday we woke to beautiful weather. At this point I have some what given up on potty training...feeling as though they may just not be ready. As the morning went on, Sydney starting saying she had go to potty. So we started putting her on the potty...and she would actually go. The incentive of receiving M&M's as a reward, seem to help a bit too.
Sydney did an amazing job...and had NO accidents all day. Thanks to some advice, we put a potty chair in the truck for the ride home. This came in very handy when Sydney needed to go potty...we just pulled over. Since Monday she has had a few accidents, but has done very well. I expect a few more accidents but am proud to say I think she's got it.
Kendall on the other hand...she gets so excited for Sydney. She'll clap and cheer. But she has absolutely no desire to go. She has absolutely no desire to get M&M's. But as always, Kendall will do it in her own time and on her own terms.
Final outcome: 50% completion!!!

You'll get there! Keep up the good work. Perhaps come up with a bigger "incentive" in a store to work towards - take the girls shopping and have them pick out something they love and set up a goal for them in order to earn it. And don't be afraid to let them just be naked at home! ;o)
