Day 5 and 6

Day 5 was no better than day 4, she did awful!!!  I decided I was done then thought to myself what am I doing?  She poops in the toilet I am not done that is a big step.  So I pulled that diaper back off and went for it.  She had accident after accident after accident, I was in tears.  Jeremy had planned to go boating Friday with some co-workers so I decided I needed a break.  Thank heavens I have an awesome Mother-in-law that came to watch the girls and clean up accident after accident.  Boating was just what I needed I felt refreshed for Saturday.
Day 6
Taylee was amazing!!!!! She told me every time she had to go potty.  Not a single accident all day long!  Plus she stayed dry all night long.  I can't believe it, I would say my little girl is potty trained and I couldn't be happier.
Conclusion
The only way I can figure out what happened was those first 3 days we had timers all day long and by the 4th day the timer was an hour long and she had an accident before the hour.  So she had no way to figure out how to tell when she needed to really go and how fast it came.  So it took the 2 really really bad days to get that figured out.  Potty Training is not easy, to be honest I feel like its the hardest part of raising a kid so far haha  The reason I try to do it so young is I HATE changing diapers and so does Jeremy so I change 99% of them and I am sick of it.  Not to mention how expensive they are.

Day 3 and 4

Day 3 was a GREAT day, the whole day only 2 accidents.  She was really happy with herself each time she got off the toilet.
Day 4
Has been Awful!!!  I guess I should have known it was gonna be a bad day when she woke up at 5:30 this morning.  Way too early for me.  The only positive thing I can say today is she at least told me she had to Poop in the toilet.  I am hoping that a good nap will help things.  I tried taking the binki away today for the potty and..............haha I started a bad habit.  Oh dear.

4th of July

 Somehow the only person we got at the starting line was cousin Joshua
 And you can see how good he did haha
McKell took 3rd in her age group
Taylee took 2nd in her age group
I took 2nd in my age group
Jeremy took 3rd in his age group, I wouldn't say we did too bad
 This was new this year, they had a greased pole and it didn't matter how you got up there if you could reach the money you got it.  So Jeremy used his resources and found the tallest man there and he pushed him up so they split the $50 bucks


 Taylee loved the 4-wheeler wagons, she rode them about 10 times and super happy

 Of course they loved the pony rides

 Candy dropping from the sky
The awesome airplane they dropped all the candy.  
Went to Willard again this year for a good ole small town celebration.  The parade was amazing and actually lasted maybe 15 minutes. :)  Foot Races, Games, and I enjoyed a burger and fries at the park.  Taylee was not a fan of the fireworks, she kept her face hidden the whole time.  I could have guessed since she is super scared of the the pops, and everytime she hears fireworks she runs straight towards me really fast.  haha its funny.  McKell on the other hand loved them!
Had a great day and can't believe that was already 3 weeks ago time is flying.

Easter Dresses



We never got around to taking Easter pictures on Easter cause before church is a rush and after Church they are tired, hungry, and grumpy.  So a few months later I tried and as you can see no success again haha kids.  But this is their cute dresses.  Taylee's cost $2.00 I love sweet deals.

Day 2, Half of 3


 Second half of day two went alright.  She did really good until I got tired of being inside so we went out to play for a bit.  (sorry for those that drive by and see her bare bum just know its for a good cause) Then she had a lot of accidents, can't believe how much she pees sometimes.  Then later that night we were invited to a BBQ so I figured we would put underwear on and take her potty before we leave.  Hahaha probably a bad idea she had 2 accidents there and I brought her home to go potty twice.  She is getting tired of the potty by now.  Thank Heavens its bed time

Day 3

Love the bum!
Day 3 didn't start out so good, she went a couple times in the potty told me once then 2 accidents in a row.  I am getting frustrated and tired of doing it at this point but must press on.  Jeremy says just to think of it as the 3rd quarter gotta keep going and don't give up the game is almost over.  Nice way to think of it.  McKell is doing better with it today, yesterday she was attention deprived.  After the 2 accidents I talked to her about the potty and telling Mom.  Success!  She told me when we were jumping and making lunch.  HOORAY!  Nap time now, I really really enjoy this time of the day.

Potty Training Taylee

I am writing this all down for journal purposes, because I can't remember how things went with McKell and I need to remember for our possibly next future children.
Day 1 potty Training
I wouldn't really say Taylee showed much interest in using the potty, but I am done with diapers so I figured why not give it a shot.  I am using the Boot Camp method the same one I used for McKell.  Morning started out good fed her lots of juices, water, and milk and knew she was gonna have to pee, so I kept her on the toilet for a good half hour and nothing.  So took her off tried again later, nothing.  She held it for 2 hours before having 3 accidents in a row.  Frustrated YES! (wanted to quite right then)  All morning accident after accident, she was super tired and kept pulling me to her bed.  I held her out until after lunch, but she was getting really tired and fighting sitting on the toilet.  So I brought out the binki (possibly a bad idea but it worked) she would sit forever I had to make her get off. Gotta love those things.  Now though she won't sit without it. Oh well I would rather have that then dirty diapers.  After her nap, she finally had success her first time going I got so excited I scared her and she stopped so I thought she was done and took her off.  OOPS!  Accident right after.  The rest of the day still had a few successes and a few accidents.  Finally 7:30 and my day was OVER!  HOORAY
Day 2 so far she has been amazing, no accidents so far.  She has told me she needs to go (well she don't talk so she started heading to the bathroom, or her eyes get big, or she stands weird).  I know this is a long journey but today I feel pretty good as of now.  She is down for a nap in underwear so we shall see. :0
