Ok – not 100% on her own but Cali took it upon herself to start using the toilet this week. On Monday she said she needed to sit on the toilet and she did several times but didn’t have any success. Then on Tuesday she woke up talking about going potty and she had a very successful day. Wednesday we set a timer and she went a lot with minor accidents. By Thursday she was going in and using the toilet all by herself.  She has an amazing ability to pee whenever she wants even if she just peed 10 minutes ago. Before knowing that trick I offered her a mermaid prize if she peed 3 times – she accomplished that quickly. When I put her to bed I told her that in the morning she could do 3 more pees on the toilet to get another prize. Well, she woke up at 8am and by 9:30am she had earned her prize!

I had attempted Potty Training 2 or 3 times before this but she never had any success so I never pushed to hard. With the Holidays I decided we would wait and try after that. I was almost ready to make it happen but she has been with her 3 girl cousins that are all in different stages of potty trained and training so it rubbed off on her. I am excited to check this off the list of “Must Get Done’s Before Baby Comes”.

the princess collection is growing and we have watched the "Little Mermaid" 2 days in a row 🙂

Now we are working on filling up this chart for a final prize and hopefully she will be 'trained' in her toilet duties by then 🙂
