Potty Training

Well it finally happened, Elena is potty trained (well into the process at least)!!!!! Andrea decided to try letting Elena's diapers run out so there wasn't really any other option than putting panties on. So when they ran out of diapers she put Elena's panties and shorts on and then left Elena in the bathroom. Elena starting crying (her cry is pretty much a scream) and pulled off her panties and shorts and put herself on her special pink potty. She and Scott had a daddy daughter date a few days after Eddie was born and Elena picked out her pink potty with a soft cushion seat. Well she sat on the potty and cried for the next 2 hours. She went potty a few times and got some candy, never leaving her potty. After about 5 hours Andrea finally told her that she could have the doll they had bought especially for when she learned to go potty if she would get off the potty and put her panties on. During this 5 hours part of the time Elena was crying that she wanted to go play. Andrea told her she could go play, nobody said she had to sit on the potty all day. Elena has done great since then. She has had some accidents, but she changes her own clothes and gets better each day. It only took 2 years and several attempts, but we are finally there!!!!!
