It was due time that we potty train Ella... it just took some convincing on her part! She liked the little potty seat that just fit into the regualar toilet seat for a little while....but, when she started saying "no" when asking her to use the toilet, we had to put our game faces on.
First we started with the "bare bum" tactic. Where they run around all day with nothing on waist down, which helps them realize there's nothing there to catch their potty when it falls... I think this helped. Kind of scary to do when you only have one bathroom in the house without carpet... so she watched movies and ate lunch at her table in the kitchen (and heavily sanitized later).
She was obsessed with pink panties, so this really helped her motivation when all she wanted to do was wear her pink panties and pink sandals. This is how she usually is running around the house these days.
We barrowed a little potty trainer where there's lights and music and it says "yeah, you went potty" when she goes. She loves this little thing... but it's a pain to clean! I wouldn't say we're completely trained, but she made it a whole night without wetting the bed and a whole day out and about without an accident... we're getting there!

I love the pink panty look. Very cute! Potty training scares me to death. Luckily we still have a little while before we tackle it.
How about you come and potty train Kenna for me. Looks like you are having a lot of fun. I just love the bare bum shot. PRiceless.
