Last week I decided to really work at getting Megan potty trained. She is now 2 1/2 and I thought it would be nice to get it done! I decided to follow a method where you have 3 days of intensive training and then you should be completely done. The child is never to go out of your sight. This would have been pretty easy to do with Mara as she was the first and only child and she did everything with me pretty much. Megan however likes to do stuff with me but also likes to do stuff by herself or just with her older siblings so keeping a constant eye on her was a
challenge. The first couple of days were interesting but on the last day she did seem to be getting it for the most part. She still is not all the way there but we aren't having that many accidents and we are
certainly over the hump! It is pretty exciting to be done with diapers!
I took a bunch of pictures of Megan helping me and so I thought it would be fun to share.
~Helping to
make bread.
~ She helped put together a centerpiece for our table.
~ She and the other kids helped to cut up broccoli (a couple of 5 gallon buckets full from Mom and Dad) to blanch and freeze.
~She enjoyed stirring our
laundry detergent.
~Busy scrubbing the stove top.
~Taste testing some
raw pumpkin.
~Ready to help make salsa.
~Playing
legos out at the table. Usually they play in the boys room and I went in and played with them for a while (Which the older kids thought was pretty neat since I don't do that very often) but then I wanted to get some other things done so they brought them out to the table so I could still keep an eye on her.
