Potty Training Tips

It seems like once a week I receive an email from the Baby Center website regarding potty training. "Is your child ready?" or "10 steps in toilet training," or "Potty Training 101, " etc. I alway read through the emails just to see what they have to say. It's crazy to that before we know it we will already be going through it. I am not really dying to get her out of diapers, I have heard moms who say they are so ready to be out of diapers, but I'm not really there yet. I know potty training is awful, terrible, frustrating and just stressful, so I not looking forward to it. I keep hoping Reagan will be one of those exceptions who learns very easy and very quickly, but who knows. I do however, think she is more aware of what is going on. Yesterday I was in the kitchen and she was just talking and talking. I wasn't paying much attention to what she was saying until I realized she was saying, "poo, poo.....poo, poo." I went over to check her and sure enough she had gone. Then today she came up to me telling me the same thing. So this week she has been wanting to tell me when she goes instead of me just finding out.

I had a coupon for 20% off at Babies R Us that expired last month, so before it expired I bought her a potty. It's been sitting in the garage but I decided to go ahead and get it out. We aren't really starting any kind of potty training, she is just getting used to it. It sometimes sits in our bathroom, sometimes it's in her bathroom and then sometimes she takes it into her room. However, no matter where it sits, there is always a wad of toilet paper that follows!
