Back on the Potty Train

It took a few weeks of setting potty training aside, but now we're back on a roll (pun intended), and things are going much better. In the last week, Reagan has used the potty multiple times each day. Also, it no longer takes her 30 minutes of drinking juice and watching a video to decide to go. Best of all, she's happy and proud of herself when she goes, not scared.

We haven't tried making the switch to panties just yet, but perhaps we should do that soon. I've heard other moms say that was the only thing that made their child cross over from being a casual potty user to being fully trained.

In the mean time, we have Disney Princess pull-ups to wear, stickers to chart her progress, and suckers as a special treat when she goes. (Oddly enough, she's not that concerned with getting the sucker. She usually takes a few licks and gives it back.)

As for the potty doll, we don't even bother with it. Oh, well. Maybe it will work for our next child.
