Potty training Elsie

For 2 weeks I felt liked I lived half the day in the bathroom!! The 2 weeks were split up by a week in Vermont which helped recharge me in my efforts. Elsie has proven to be the hardest to potty train, although I know that is most likely due to he fact I waited a bit tooling to really start. She had a lot of fear so the first few days it was a big deal to get one or 2 successes! The first week was all about juice crackers videos and candy if there was a success. The boys loved it and were great cheerleaders. Andrew was such a big help- he took a few turns sitting and reading to Elsie for 15-20 minutes to help her. Week 2 went easier than week 1 and now on week 3 I am excited that she has mastered most of potty training!! Very excited to only have 1 in diapers:)

So, we're in the potty training together. Karissa, our youngest at 2, is now mastering the "throne." I'll be thinking of you as we make our treks to the bathroom. :)
Thinking of you guys!
