It's official after 2 1/2 weeks of strictly panties for nap time (nap duration is every day for about 1-2 1/2 hrs) she has only had one accident!!
Raegan is officially done with her little Minnie Potty and only uses the big potty, puts herself on, wipes with help, loves flushing and putting the toilet seat down and then washing her hands. I almost think the hand washing is her favorite part in that aspect!
Again she loves the praise and the privacy that she does get when she is in the bathroom on her own, doesn't even get into trouble by getting into things. Raegan does what she needs to do and then calls for us. Frankly I think she's too excited and proud of herself to pee and poop on the big potty that she doesn't even think about getting into trouble!
So it's nothing but high fives and praise all around and something from her reward box! I have to say I have 3 girls, Raegan being my youngest, then my oldest at 12 and Keira at 9, I have potty trained all of them before the age of 3, but Raegan seems easier and eager to learn than the other girls and is potty training faster. I even potty trained my step daughter who is now 15. (she is my older girls half sister..no relation to Raegan's father). My step daughter took the longest to train, but it was also harder since she was just as much at her moms house and my house with her father. I don't believe in pull ups, frankly I think they are a waste of money and very much like diapers so the toddlers have that sense of comfort, a fall back in knowing it's a diaper cause to them really it's still a diaper, just a different kind and it just doesn't work. But hey to each their own with their technique in potty training.
Soon I think I will be trying her in panties all night as well..fingers crossed and a blog update when I start that!
All in all I am VERY VERY proud of my daughter!

Triumphs!
Oh I know its been awhile since I have written, frankly I am so bad at remembering to blog, or I am never around a computer!
Anyways so the last 2 1/2 weeks I have put Raegan down for her naps that range from 1-2 1/2 hrs in her panties and a shirt. I began realizing that she had more control over her bladder/bowel movements. She was holding her pee/poop til nap time or bedtime and going poop and pee in her diaper.
So the last 2 1/2 weeks I would say has been a great success with her!! She has only had 1 accident in her panties during nap time.
I have started a chart with stickers and a bucket of "rewarding" toys/healthy snacks/candy for every time she doesn't have an accident. She LOVES LOVES LOVES the praise I give her, or her sisters give her. She high fives us and tells us what a "Big Girl" she is! She loves her "Reward box as well.
This is working out great and she's really catching on fast! Im a proud momma of this "Big" girl :)

Success!!!!
So I have been slowly introducing Raegan to the big potty in the bathroom. At first she did not take kindly to it whatsoever!! She would scream, cry, tears rolling down her cheeks. My heart absolutely melted. Not to mention she had a death grip on me.
That was 2 weeks ago. Last night my oldest daughter (who is almost 12) and I brought Raegan into the bathroom, gave her so much encouragement and to our surprise she actually peed for the first time on the big potty!! We praised her, clapped, gave her high fives and told her what a big girl she was.
This morning, I got her, had her eat her breakfast and we took off her night time diaper and I said "Raegan ready to use the big girl potty?" She looks up at me and says "Yep, I am!" She ran toward the bathroom, waited for me to come with her little potty (we use that as a stepping stool) and she climbed right up and peed again!! I am soooooooo excited and proud..and she says "Good girl!!" Hahaha it was cute!
My goal is to still have her potty trained by 3yrs old. I stated her at 18mos and shes made so much progress with some regression along the way, but that is to be expected. She isnt quite 2 1/2 yet, but shes hitting her milestones.
Yep im a proud momma!!

Regression at its finest
So little miss Raegan has decided to regress with her potty training for a little while. She was peeing on the couch, carpet, pooped on the kitchen floor..oh what fun it was!
Finally im like enough is enough, so I started her on the potty 10 mins, off for 15, on 10 off 15. Well did that for the week and she is finally putting herself on again when she has to go. I see the light at the end of this tunnel :D
I goal is too hopefully have her potty trained by 3. Im just curious as to how I am going to transition her from her little potty I put in front of the tv to the big potty. Her potty is also used as a step stool to get onto the bigger one. I have tried her on the big one quite a few times and each time she screams bloody murder. I never let go of her while she is on, and she holds onto my hands as well.
Im sure this is something we will work through..but I am proud and happy that the regression has ended, im sure I will hit another bump very soon. She is the 4th child I have potty trained, 3 of which are mine the older is my stepdaughter who is now 15.

Oh regression how I dont like you!!
Raegan was doing so well with her potty training, now its a fight to get her to sit on her potty. She has peed on the couch twice and floor once in the last week.
I have potty trained 3 girls and had them all potty trained by 3, and with all of them they had regressed so I was expecting it again at some point.
I now have to put her on her potty every 15 mins or so and listen to her throw a big temper tantrum..which is fine cause I usually ignore her and busy myself doing something else. I dont want to give her that negative attention, cause she will have worse fits if I give into her.
So taking the potty training day by day and still continuing to praise her for sitting on it and going..she still goes potty on it daily with the accidents around the house.
Fingers crossed that this doesnt last long!!
On a positive note..I am only going through 2-3 diapers a day since she is in big girl panties most of the day with the exception of nap time and bedtime :) Talk about saving money!!

Proud Momma!!
When Raegan is at home she only wears her big girl panties. The only time she is in a diaper is for nap time and bedtime. Raegan goes 10hrs without a diaper during the day now and has only had 1 accident in 6wks. I am sooooo proud of my baby girl who just turned 2 in August.
She had her 2yr check up last week and the doc was really impressed with the potty training!! She said that most kids her age havent even started and shes almost fully potty trained! RaeRae also weighs 28.9lbs now and had 1 shot and blood work done. All the blood came back fine and her lead test was fine which is wonderful!
All around I have a healthy happy, smart girl :D The only thing that she really needs to work on is sleeping through the night so she isnt keeping her older sisters up haha.

Accomplishments!!
My Ladybug has officially graduated from diapers to big girl panties all day every day that we are home!! She enjoys prancing around in her panties and calling herself a "Big Girl."
I leave her big girl potty in front of the tv with her shows and limit her to the living room with her toys, tv shows and sippy..she enjoys running around and playing..she now puts herself on the potty when she has to go, I dont even have to tell her or remind her.
She has a routine in the morning where I get my older girls up and ready for school, I pop in a movie for her and let her watch her movie in the crib until I get back home from bringing my middle child to the bus stop. Raegan stays home with daddy.
When I get back I get her out of bed, her clothes, make her breakfast and have her eat while I set her potty up and get her her big girl panties. After breakfast we get her cleaned up and out of her dirty diaper, clean that mess up and she sits right on the potty with her sippy in front of the tv..she goes right then (usually every morning). Raegan loves helping me take care of her pee..I will dump it in the toilet and she will flush and put the seat down while I wash out her potty..then we wash our hands and set the potty back up in the living room.
Rae runs around freely and when she has to go she pulls her panties down and sits..sometimes she just sits there for 20 mins..hey whatever works!!
Needless to say this is my 4th girl I have/am potty trained. 3 being my kids and 1 being my stepdaughter (who is now 15 haha). I am so very proud of Raegan!! She is 2yrs and 1month now and this far with her training!! IMPRESSED MOMMA HERE! :D
