Lizzy and Potty Training

Well As of the End of April I can say with 90% certainty that Lizzy is done with potty training!!!!
The other ten percent is because she still wets the bed. Not every night, But 1-2 times a week. She is getting better every day. Telling us while were out of the house when she needs to go potty. And She poops in the toilet with regular occurrence. But up until the end of February I was putting nightly pull-ups on her (she was mostly undies during the day (like 90% of the time unless we were going to be traveling long distances) and she would poop every night in those pull-ups. She also pooped during the day sometimes in her underwear and I would always throw them away. I couldn't stomach washing out the poop-it made me sick to my stomach thinking about it, and Jake didn't want to do it either. But after a month and a half of sleeping in her bed every night with underwear she has gotten really good about going potty before bed, and has had 0 accidents during the day. And by accidents i mean peeing her pants because she didn't try to go to the potty. She has peed her pants, but both times she did so in front of the toilet because she couldn't get on the potty in time. 

Jake and I are so proud of Lizzy. This potty training journey took us a whole year. It took so long because we did half jobs in the beginning of trying to potty training her but not actually trying. William was so young still and a lot of my energy was zapped by getting up with him in the nights. So YAY!!!! Elizabeth is potty trained. You have worked really hard baby girl, and daddy and I are so proud of all your efforts.

I know you were frustrated and daddy and I were frustrated and sometimes there was some yelling  (especially when you pooped your pants on my part) and I'm sorry. But it was all worth it to watch you run to the bathroom and go all by yourself.

2 kids down, 1 to go.
