Adios Diapers

All done potty training!
Thank Goodness it is all over with. We are really proud of our little girl. Julia has made a lot of changes this past week

She used to:
*pipi so much we would use 8-10 diapers a day*go to bed until midnight*be dependant of mommy for everything*eat little but drink a lot of milk*Use a sippi cup the whole day*pipi so much at night we could even wet the bed

Now she:
goes a whole day without diapers(even if go out)*loves to wear her princesses panties*she does a lot of things to help around the house*eats a lot more than what she used to specially veggies and fruit*doesn't care about her sippi-cup anymore*loves to drink out of a glass*hasn't have a pipi accident for days*goes to bed at 9:30

it is amazing all the changes that this little girl has made just because we started potty training. I 'm so very grateful to the people that made that Elmo's video because it has taught her so many new things. One of the things i absolutely love is that it teaches them what big kids should be doing like getting dress for themselves helping around the house etc., and this teachings has transform my toddler into a kid. She is self motivated and when she wakes up she asks me to help her make her bed and then she comes to help me make mine, she wants to clean up all the messes she makes to the point of grabbing the mop and the broom.

So here is what i did we mixed 3 things together:

1.- the $75 method 2.- Elmo's video 3.- rewards

we used the $75 method which basically tells you to let her run around the house with no diapers asking her every 15 minutes or so if she needs to go potty.
The first 2 days were the hardest for me I was about to kill her and kill myself for bringing this upon us. This is the period when we had the most accidents. Every time she would have an accident.
I am so glad it is all over now, there were so many time when I was ready to quit, specially when the accidents were done on our new carpet. Thank goodness we have a lot of laminate floors and that's where the majority of them happened, but now I am just glad that I didn't give up.

I got an Elmo's video with the only intention of giving her graphics on what we needed her to do but this movie did much more than that for us. I believe it taught her what big kids are suppose to be doing which encouraged all the changes
We also did Rewards. This was mainly Spencer's idea. We would give a treat every time she used the potty no matter how little or how much. Of course what better reward for a kid than a suckers.
I believe this is what made the whole thing happened because now she goes to the bathroom by herself without me asking her all the time and comes back to tell me that she did it and asks for her sucker.

So this is my story. I haven't even opened the last box of diapers I bought for her.
yeah for Julia!
