Potty Training Update, Pen to Paper Meets Reality

In November, these mommas mentally prepared for their toddler's messiest and most adult-involved milestone yet, potty training. Both Morgen and Trisha planned on tackling potty training differently. 

It's now four months later when pen to paper meets reality. In this episode, we update you on the reality of potty training, sharing what we ended up doing and how it REALLY is going, especially now that they are at the bowl movement stage. Playground accidents, anyone?  

Remi was ready to take the lead within a week, whereas Charlie slowly grasped the concept and then regressed once her brother was born, causing Morgen to change her approach a few times. The ladies also discuss how the training is going at home versus school and they highly suggest sending to school extra pants you won't mind having sit there for weeks on end. Morgen sent a pair of pants to school she forgot about, and thought Charlie was wearing another child's pants when she came home in them.

Let's not forget that potty training isn't just about trying to make it accident-free. It's also about toddlers learning to wipe. Too little toilet paper, too much toilet paper, the struggle is real.

Morgen and Trisha may differ on how they tackle potty training, but their most significant takeaway is to follow the child. Both Charlie and Remi let their parents know in their own ways when they were ready. As a parent, you can be afraid of "missing the potty training window," but we promise you won't if you listen to your child and the signs they are giving you.
