Potty Training Time

The time has finally come for Potty Training! I can't believe my girls are growing up so fast. We have 5 months until preschool and we have to this down before then. I have one ready and the other semi/not really interested. The one who is interested is already sitting on the big potty and going whenever we let her.

To be honest, I've putting it off until a more convenient time. We've just started using pull ups to make our lives a bit easier. The first few times we used animal cookies as an incentive and she loved it. Luckily, she's self motivated now and we don't have to reward her. Today, we went to find Cinderella "underwears" as we call them around here. Thanks to Target our search was very easy. Cinderella has her own pack, so I had two very happy toddlers. Next week, we plan to go full force. I have nothing planned for the entire week, so we'll be at home next to our matching pink and green potties ready for action.  My plan is to let them eat, drink and play as normal, but every 15 minutes try to go potty. We'll have some new books ready and a fun bubble set for the big deed!
