Great News!!!

Okay, so some of you may think I am crazy trying to potty train Milan right before Dean comes. Maybe I am???

But, tonight we had TWO successes! We started round three of training on Friday. Our nanny, Ofie, did not have any luck. She said that she thinks Milan is ready, but that she would probably be stubborn about it.

Friday night we went to Tanya's house and her very accommodating 3 year old daughter, Ava was very willing to show Milan the ropes. Since then, Milan has been much more willing to sit on the potty, but still no successes.

So, tonight, I asked Tanya if we could hang out again to see if it would help the process. Again, Milan sat, but nothing came of it. UNTIL, we came home tonight, and she went "pee pee" in the toilet.

We celebrated with the pancakes she has been asking for all day! Then, to our surprise, she went "poo poo" in the potty right before bed!

Sorry if this story is too graphic for some, but I am sure any parent can understand the joy of this breakthrough. Now, if it only keeps going:) Thanks Ava for your help! Yay Milan - we are so proud of you:)

That is SUCH great news. I am so happy to hear that after the struggles you have had with potty training. It's true what everyone says I guess they are ready when they are ready. I am going to want to schedule a potty playdate with Milan for Taylor over Spring break if you are up to it.
