On the agenda for the new year...

...potty training. It is becoming more and more obvious how ready Julia is everyday. She tells me that her diaper is "very wet" and says (in her words), " I have yucky in there" when it's something else. She walks by the bathroom and her potty chair all of the time and knows exactly what she is supposed to do (right down to washing her hands).

So I was thinking...I should make potty training Julia my New Year's Resolution. AT least I know I will stick to it!

It sounds like she is ready When I was researching potty training a common theme seemed to be praise and positive reinforcement. I came across a website called www.pottytrainingrewards.com. We hung it in the kitchen and named the little boy on the front of the package, Bobby. My son could not wait to go to the potty so he could push the button, hear the praising message, and get his chocolate reward from, Bobby. It really got my son excited about using the potty himself and it was fun for him. Because he became so involved, potty training was easy. So give it a try.
