Potty Training=Exhaustion

I started potty training Jayda on Monday. Wow. I think it's one of the hardest things that I have to do as a parent! It's exhausting...mentally and physically. I don't know how we time it so that I'm between 7-9 months pregnant every time I've had to do it! :) Monday and Tuesday were awful... good thing for awesome sisters that listened to me cry and who had fabulous advice and cheerleading skills!! Also, I'm grateful for a good book that helps get the job done in a day or two. After 2 hard days, something clicked with Jayda Tuesday night and we haven't had an accident since! We have stayed at home the whole week so we could solidify her skills and it has totally been worth it! Go Big Girl Jayda!!! I'm so proud of her!

Good job Jayda (and Mom!) Potty training is the absolute worst.

Congrats! It is, following pregnancy, labor and birth, the most awful experience of any adult's life. :)

Way to go Jada!!! That is always such a hard week but super worth it! I am on the countdown, only 6 months!

Wow! Go Shanna, Go Shanna, Go, Go, Go Shanna! Sorry, a little cheerleader came out in me. That's really awesome that's she's trained. Thanks for telling me about that book. I'll definitely be using it with Everett.
