The joy of potty training

Many of you may laugh at the title,or think to yourself, "that's not how I would describe potty training..." That being said, I was reminded this week how great the potty training process can be as I had the opportunity to begin training one of my babies. I am very old school about PT. I don't believe in pull ups, potty chairs, or dragging out the process. I think we underestimate the miraculous ability to learn that our children possess from birth. Take my sweet baby from this week, she is 15 months old and we began formally training on Thursday and by Friday she stayed dry all day and used the potty for all her needs. She also has wonderful parents who committed to using the same techniques at home, which helps tremendously. Its an awesome privilege to help a child through this process, to cheer for them as they succeed, and partner with parents. PT takes time, resolve, and the ability to let your child have accidents and LEARN from them. It's not easy but I think it's worth the effort (: Congrats to my sweet little friend who trained this week and congrats to her parents.
