The main event this week was potty training Elsie. If I am being honest, this should have happened long ago, but between having our house on the market for a year, a pandemic, homeschooling the children, living with my parents, moving into our new house, and remodeling, it got put on the back burner. Her readiness for potty train is evident in how it has gone. The first day and a half she had a couple accidents. We spent to first three days in just undies while we were getting the hang of it. Since then she has not had a single pee accident. It took her until the third day to figure out number two, but now she is off and running on that too. If we are going to be gone a while, more than an hour or so, we still take a potty with us, but she is getting really good at holding it too. We are on day 7 now and mostly she just takes herself potty when she needs to. This is a bit of a double edged sword because she is still going on a training potty that needs to be emptied. Unfortunately, when she doesn't give anyone a heads up, we have to hope we find it before our puppy, Millie does.
I can't tell you how much I have been dreading taking on potty training, but so far Elsie has made it relatively painless. If I could go back in time maybe I wouldn't have potty trained the others until they were three too.
