Potty Training!

Kate started potty training on Saturday and has done great! We used the book Toilet Training in Less than a Day. The first day was very tiring but on Monday, she was accident free. Today was our first day leaving the house and we were playing outside when she had an accident but she clearly realized it because she screamed "WET!" and started crying. When we got home, she went twice in her potty and then went down for her nap. We went to a friend's house to play and she had her first potty experience away from home. She was nervous but then she just did it and smiled. She's doing great!
