Potty Training

After months of struggle and trying to get Violet to go on the potty, we can finally say that she is potty trained.  In the end, it was so easy.  All we had to do was take off her diaper, put on big girl undies and after one or two accidents, Violet quickly realized that being all dirty and wet isn't really fun.  She gets really excited when she pees or poops on the potty and runs around the apartment yelling, "Mommy, daddy, I did it. I did it... Lollipop?"  It's was previously her reward for going on the potty but now that she goes like 10 times per day, we had to put an end to that.  Violet is really proud of her accomplishments and is even trying to potty train Ivy.  When she sees us change Ivy's diaper, she reprimands her by shaking her finger and saying, "No, no, no Ivy.  Pee and poop on the potty!"

In the last six months Violet has given up her bottle, the paci, became potty trained and started pre-school.  My little girl is all grown up.
