Big girl

I wanted to wait a bit before I posted about Hannahs newest step towards becoming a BIG girl. We started potty training about 3.5 weeks ago! We basically stayed home the first two days and let her run around with no diaper on. She really caught on after the first day as to when she had to go potty...as long as there were no distractions :) After two days we did take short trips out, but since she has a bit of a fear of big people potties we always were close enough to run home. Then after 4 days at home she went to daycare for 10 hours, diaper free (well they put a diaper on for nap time there), they were quite shocked that she showed up diaper free. She has only had 2 accidents at daycare which we think is quite good since the workers A) speak a different language as our home potty training language and B) the workers don't know her bathroom cues quite as good as us and C) she is there 10 hours. Now after 3.5 weeks she has very few accidents and also does pretty well at nap time (up to 3 hours) staying dry.

What she really had difficulty with in the beginning was pooping. For about 2 weeks before starting potty training she actually was holding it in, even with the diaper on. Thankfully, now after several tears she does quite well most days. She still holds it in occasionally, but it is much much better! That makes mommy and daddy also much happier.

She has even conquered going potty in the woods while we are out hiking! She is ready for backpacking!

I will leave you with one pregnancy photo that was taken on one of our hikes this weekend. I have my 34 week appointment this week, after that appointment I will post another baby update and pictures from this pregnancy as compared to with Hannah.
