You might think I’m nuts for trying to potty train a 16 month old. But really, I hate diapers.
About 3 weeks ago, we started putting Addie on the potty every morning when she woke up, before naps, after naps, before bathtime, after bathtime, and before bed. It’s just become a habit now. She doing pretty good! I won’t go into detail, but lets just say she has been successful at least once almost every day. She gets very excited when she hears the “potty sounds” and giggles and laughs for a few minutes at least.
Recently, she has started to say “bum” just minutes after going. We are getting there, hopefully soon she will say it just before!
However, don’t try to catch her “doing her business”, it’s personal afterall!

I won’t say you’re nuts…but definitely ambitious! My biggest advice – watch for her clues that she’s ready. She may perform now…but regress later…and that’s ok!
Either way – you go girls!
