Potty Training Progress
I started to attempt the potty training process with Ava earlier this summer. I'll admit I haven't been really consistent. I got really frustrated after days up cleaning up pee from my floor. I have a very, very strong willed little girl! We were out of town last week at my parents so we didn't do any potty training or really even talk about it. So today I decided to give it another shot. I put her potty in her toy room so it would be close by, took off her diaper, and told her if she need to go peepee to sit on her potty (I know she knows when she needs to go b/c she usually asks for a diaper). To my surprise, 15 minutes later I heard the potty "sing"(it plays music when you go potty in it). Sure enough...she actually went peepee in the potty! She was very excited about dumping it into the big potty and flushing it. Every peepee was successful today!!! I didn't have to clean up any off the carpet. The next challenge will be getting her to wear panties and still use the potty. Today was a good day but we have a long way to go. Baby steps...we'll get there eventually. Everyday is a new day with Ava. You never know what you are going to get. She could be my sweet little princess and behave so well one day and then the next be a total terror child who throws extreme fits and continually disobeys. Oh the joys of the terrible 2's!

Yeah!!!! I'm so glad it's going better...or at least you got a taste of what that looks like. :) Good luck with tomorrow!
Feeling your pain and joys! They just get it one day, or they just decide okay, I'll give mom a break today! Naked potty training worked for Caleb, and he has done well with the adding of clothes! but it was still frustrating how it is their little minds that makes the choice to pee or not to pee in the potty that day, and then all of sudden they get it! Caleb can be pretty darn stubborn too, which has been half the battle for me to not make it a battle!
