In our house you have to be three-years-old before I will even consider potty training. We told Hope that when she turned three she could wear underwear. The day after her birthday, I brought out the potty training doll, the little potty and the underwear. Faith picked up potty training in an hour. I was so excited to prove that girls really are so much easier to potty train than boys. It's been two years since I read the book that worked so great with Faith. I either missed a few steps the book recommends, or Hope just isn't Faith. After the first day with no success I did what all good moms do. I bribed her. She picked out a Barbie dress and she could only wear it after a day of no accidents. It took about a week to earn the dress (which is not the most conducive attire for potty training). She is really doing super well now and rarely has accidents. This is a major turning point in my life. No more diapers. I don't feel the least bit sad. I've told Doug that this is the very last time I will ever potty train anything-- a person an animal, you name it, I'm finished!
This is the Barbie dress Hope earned going on the potty.
Good job, Hope!

Glad to hear she is doing so well! Great Day!
Yay for Hope. I am the same way, I don't even try until they are 3. Andee just got potty trained a bit ago and I am loving only having 1 in diapers.
