Potty time!

So we have been potty training Jadyn for a couple weeks now. I decided I didn't want to do the stay at home until it is over thing so we took it slow, but she is doing great! At first I slipped a diaper on when I went out, but she is getting good now and having fewer accidents. This has always been the most dreaded part of motherhood! but it was easy! For some reason I have had so much anxiety over potty training! I finally stopped listening to the advise from people who haven't potty trained their kids yet and listening to my friends who have actually been there! Once we introduced skitals and candy worms into her vocabulary it was a breeze. (Now we just have to slowly faze those words back OUT of her vocabulary!) She seems to be very motivated by "rewards" and in fact will eat a whole plate full of broccoli or salad if she knows there is a small dessert to come! I am so excited to now only have to change one kids diaper!
