So just after Colton was born we decided to potty train Kylee. I posted about it a couple months ago so I'll just recap a little. She did really well for a week or so and then started having accidents and we decided it would be best to wait a little while and try again. Just after Thanksgiving we decided to give it another shot but go at it a different way. My sister Natalie told me when she potty trained her twins they used the bare bum method and worked like a charm. We decided that's what we'd do and in the first week she only had 1 accident. It's been over a month and she has only had 2 or three accidents and has done awesome! She'll go to the bathroom and say, "I did it all by myself! I did so awesome!! I didn't need your help!"
The best part about bare bum potty training is they don't wear pants at home, only when going out and about. I got to see this darling little bum every day! We just started putting her in panties and pants last week and she has done so well with it! It's the cutest thing, drop her pants and panties down to her ankles and then waddle to the bathroom. She's got the order a little backwards but hasn't had any accidents. She has even gotten up on the toilet by herself a few times. She loves the little toilet and sink at church though and says she needs to go when we're out and about just to see if the other bathrooms have them. Yay to my big girl and only changing one diapered bum a day!!
Oh, this gives me hope! We tried it before with Macie, too, and it was NOT a success. So now I'm totally wanting to do it again but I'm scared. You'll have to fill me in more on this bare bum method and any other little tips you might have. Good job, Kylee!!
