Potty Training Boot Camp

I have yet another potty training journey (#3)! She is 2 1/2 years old and is showing interest and comes to me when she needs a diaper change....so I think it's time!


We started Sunday night & from then until now she has had only 2 accidents! I must say she is catching on more quickly then my boys did! She is 'listening' to her body and comes and tells me when she needs to go potty! This makes me so excited! I am so proud of her!

I am also excited because I will only have 1 in diapers and I have had that in about 6 1/2 years! I have had 2 in diapers at one time. And now since I made the switch to cloth diapers, just means that the diapers will last longer and I won't have to do has much diaper laundry (always a plus).

So we have set up in the downstairs bathroom a stool & her comfy princess seat. She loves it! I think she likes flushing just as much as she does from getting praise from us for going potty! She is too cute about it!



Don't worry-there is nothing in it!

Just so proud of my princess & hope that she continues to do this and in princess underwear in no time! Will keep you posted!

Is there any potty training stories that you would like to share?

So excited!

I am so excited and proud of myself that I made my first two diapers last night!!!! I have some work to do on getting some of the materials to lay right and work on techinics but overall it came out great! I was just so proud of myself that I took pieces of fabric and turned them into something that my kids can wear and it does its job!



I am not artistically inclined what-so-ever so this is something big for me! I will continue to make these diapers and I am hoping to expand my abilities to more things. Slowly but surely I know that I will be able to do everything that I want…I just won’t be able to do it all at the same time. I have noticed that when I am sewing I have kind of a lead foot lol! If I move forward to look at my project, my foot tends to go down as well and makes me sew faster then I want hahahahahaha! I am working on that



Here are the two diapers that I made last night



You can, hopefully, see on the diapers where the elastic looks weird…..almost like the diapers are uneven. I promise I cut everything straight, lol, but if anyone has suggestions about making it easier to sew elastic or tips-I would love to hear em!
