Only Big Girls Here

When we were trying to get Hadley to potty train, we told her once she went on the potty all of the time she would get a big girl bed.  We told Malia the same thing. 

Malia showed no interest in going on the potty, so we didn’t push at all.  Occasionally, we would ask her if she wanted to sit on the potty, but she always said no.  I thought she would be closer to three before we were out of diapers, but one week before she turned 2.5 she said she wanted to wear panties. 

We put on panties and within a month she was completely potty trained, even during naps and bedtime.  Since we were moving soon and trying to sell the house, we didn’t want to convert her bed to a full size.  Instead, we took off one of the rails and converted it into a toddler bed.

We have two big girls now and potty training wasn’t nearly as bad as everyone warned.  My girls are independent and knew when they were ready.
