Potty Training Update + Dora Panties

Since Christmas is behind us I thought I would update you guys on Potty Training.  After complaining and stressing out (HERE) Peyton must have felt sorry for me! She did a complete turn around!

Potty (NOT) Training

I am not about this potty training life!  I was fooling myself to think that Peyton was going to be easy to potty train.  When we first brought home a potty she went a few times and was happy about it.  She knows all words to the Potty Dance Song and we even had a Potty Dance Party (HERE) at the house with other kids.  Boy was I wrong!

Do The....Potty Dance!

Peyton and I hosted a Huggies Pull-Up Potty Dance Party this past Saturday.   Peyton is a year and a half so it's time to start thinking about going to the potty!  My baby is growing up too fast but she needs to get started.  I figured what better way then to have a Potty Dance Party!  The party was with House Party and sponsored by Pull-Ups and Target.

For the party, Peyton wore a Gap butterfly top, with Joe's jeans, and red mary janes from Target.

As you can see, everyone had a good time!  Each kid was given a potty training kit that included, a "Big Kid in Training" bathroom door hanger, stickers, DVD, progress chart, guitar and a ton of coupons!

Here is what us moms learned from Pull-Ups and each other:

• Look for signs your child is ready.  Like staying dry for long periods of time, wants diapers changed asap, shows interest in using the potty.
• Once you switch over to Pull Ups you need to stick with it.  Going back to diapers confuses the child.
• Use potty training books and songs to keep the momentum going.
• Dress you child in easy clothing
• Use rewards when they potty

Pull-Ups has a variety different options to help you child to be successful.  They have Pull Ups that change design when wet.  Pull Ups with cool alert and your child can feel when they are wet.  They also offer Pull Up night times so you don't have to stop training at night.

I was originally going to post the video of the kids dancing but my camera was keeping me from being great.  So I leave you with the Potty Dance video that we watch over 50 times on Saturday.

Do you have any potty training tips?  Please share!
