It's potty training time!!! Just like her big brother, Maddie is pushing three years old, and we're spending lots of time *talking about* using the potty, but not a lot of time actually doing it... Since Ollie enjoyed filling up his "Toidy Chart" (getting a sticker for each successful use), we thought we'd do the same for Maddie. She was VERY excited to find Thomas the Train stickers, and now she also loves the Peppa Pig stickers we found. Her FIRST EVER pee on the toilet was on Christmas Eve in Maine... it was after a bath, and I asked if she wanted to use the toidy, and she said yes!! Lots of smiles and high fives and encouragement followed, but it was a few weeks after Christmas before she went again. To date, she has 8 stickers on the chart, all from post-bath pees. We're getting there!!! I'm sure one day, just like Ollie, she'll announce that she wants to use the toilet, and that's that.
