Today is Babywise Friendly Blog Network Day and everyone is posting on the topic of Potty Training! I was SUPER pumped for this topic as I have a LOT to say about it AND because I still have yet to blog about Tess's potty training journey. However. Life happened ( see post from last week ). So I'm just not in the mental space to talk about poop and pee ;) So I thought I'd do a post round up today with links to all the fellow Babywise Bloggers as well as links to my personal potty training posts: My Potty-Training Posts: Pre-Potty Training Prep Tips for Potty Training Kye's 1st Time on the Potty Pottywise Vs "Emilywise" Journal of Kye's Potty Training Journal of Britt's Potty Training Potty Training Posts from the Babywise Friendly Blog Network: 5 Things to Do Before You Start Potty Training Readiness Cues for Potty Training (Probably not what you are thinking...but DEAD ON) Realities of Potty Training 6 Positives to Late Pot...
When it comes to potty training I consider my children to be "potty trained" when they are able to stay dry and clean during awake time and go to the bathroom in the potty during those times. I start potty training my children when they are very young (you can see my potty training tips here! ) and the ability to stay dry and clean during sleep is not something they can simply learn to do. The body has to develop enough for their bladders to hold it while sleeping. So while I focus on potty training at young ages, I do not put any focus on nap or night training until they are older. Even though I didn't "push" nap and night training, both of my older children were both in panties/underwear for sleep before 2.5 years old.

All about Britt from June! Mommy/Daddy Time: I can think of VERY few times when Zach and I have gotten to spend time together alone with JUST Britt? We take dates with each kid pretty often, but rarely do we get the chance to be the two of us with just one child. Kye went to spend the night with Aunt Karen so Zach and I enjoyed our sweet girl! It was crazy how EASY she was when it was just her! We often think of Britt as our spirited "tougher" child...especially in this two year old phase of life. But when it was just her by herself with us? She was awesome! Britt and I went on a fun golf cart ride around the neighborhood while Zach made her dinner! She wanted to rock her sunglasses during her dinner ;) After dinner we went to McDonald's! They had a great special on 49 cent ice cream cones so we thought it'd be a fun special treat for the three of us to enjoy :) Kye stayed at Aunt Karen's through nap time the next day ...
