In typical Avery-style this weekend my daughter finally just decided that she was ready to start using the potty. She never does anything halfway. She’s a “go hard or go home” kinda gal.

We’ve been trying to coax her to use the potty for at least 6 months and she has resisted our every effort since that first traumatizing poop on the potty that scared the living daylights out of her. Then on Saturday morning she starts telling us when she needs to pee and using the potty without any problem. It was totally random. We are so proud!

Of course the two days following have been full of accidents but now that she has shown she’s ready we can start the process without reservation. So for the next week I will be staying home and working on Operation Potty Training Boot Camp.
