My Emily is officially a big girl she goes on the potty all the time when she is awake. She is dry most mornings. My step-mom kept the babies while we went to the conference and she is the one that should get all the credit. We use a timer that we set for about 45 minutes. If she doesn't go then we set it for 10 minutes we do this over and over until she goes. The potty is out and accessible. I know it seems weird to put the potty in the living room but whatever works at first. Emily wore lots of little dresses so it would be easy and they left the bottoms off at first. I guess she was a little surprised when she pooped on the floor. Can you believe she had no idea that came from her. When she successfully uses the potty she gets to put stickers on a piece of paper hanging on the fridge. If she is unsuccessful she gets a sad face drawn on that piece of paper. She has been doing this for just a couple of weeks and she has mastered it. We don't even use the timer now she will just go and the potty is now out of the living room and in a more appropriate place.
Chase is next!

Awesome!! I am still trying to potty train Ayla, she knows when she has to go to the bathroom, but she will NOT sit on the potty..for anything...oh well, eventually right...
I was just reading that you went to the JRA conference. It sounds like it was very informative.. I wanted to go so badly but I couldnt find a sitter for my two year old! I definitely want to go next year!!
I hope your little angel is doing well!
I hope
