That's right friends, Lincoln + Lila hopped on the potty train. Can I get a WOOP-WOOP?!?!
I had been toying with the idea of potty training for a while now. And right after their birthday I decided to give it a go. (On a whim in true Karla-style.) I didn't read any books, blogs or otherwise--I just made a plan I thought would work for my kids. I figured I would work on training them both, and if I could at least get one aboard the potty train I would count it a success. The other one could try again at a later date.
I thought Lincoln was the more ready of the 2. Lila proved me wrong. Just a couple of accidents on the first day and she was with me. Lincoln on the other hand--not so much. He would pee on that potty no problem, but I could NOT get that kid to drop it on the pot! ...until day FIVE! I was patient, never got upset, and I wasn't willing to throw the towel in on my potty training experiment. All it took was the first doo on the loo and he was golden.
*It's been 3 weeks since we've said ADIOS to the diapers.
Thank God!
(*except night time of course!)

What I've learned about potty training:
1. As disgusting as you think poopy diapers are, poopy underwear is way, WAY worse.
2. Not leaving your house for 3-4 days in the beginning, with your potty-training children, could quite possibly make you eligible for a visit to the looney house. (OR WORSE!)
3. Be patient, patient, patient and consistent.
4. Toddler butts look flipping adorable in underwear.
