Poooootty training

In February we started introducing potty (Madisyn likes to drag out the "o")training. We let her run around without any pants on with a portable training potty close by. She did remarkably well, but of course, she couldn't run around everywhere without pants on (especially in public) :) So as long as she was bare bottom, she would go... but once she had a diaper on, she'd forget about the potty.

We became more lackadaisical after Landon was born, but she has continued to make progress. A couple of weeks ago we hit another milestone; she asked to go potty while we were shopping... and actually held it until we found a restroom. Daycare also told us that we could send her in real underwear, since she usually makes it all day (although we haven't yet since we're hesitant to try it at home).

I think we're on the home stretch! Every week we're buying fewer diapers (yeah!). The last big hurtle... getting her to go #2 in the potty more. We're open to suggestions! You'd think that would be the easiest, after all, why would anyone want to sit in that??? (I thought I'd spare you a picture of her on the pot)
