Running in Circles

It was a long week but we did it! 

Hazel is 100% wearing big girl panties and doing great! 

We followed the 3-day method and Monday and Tuesday were exhausting, repetitive, and full of accidents. She begged to wear diapers until she was in tears and Brice and I spent a lot of time sitting with her telling stories and singing songs. Poor Henry had to sit in an empty bathtub with toys a lot too! (He just wanted to be close to me.)  On the third day she had no accidents and told me that she needed to go every time. That was a first! She's had a few accidents at night and the first time we went out of the house, but now she's really doing great! We've gone cold-turkey on diapers and I'm not looking back! I am so proud of Hazel for adjusting quickly and so grateful for words of advice and encouragement!

Things that helped:

- Calling people on the phone for extra praise.

- Really making the distinction that diapers are for babies.

- Not making her feel bad for accidents.

- An app called potty time

- Keeping a water bottle in the bathroom
