Hooray for Potty Training!

preschoolers

After much time spent on attempting to potty train and many ups and downs, we have been having regular success this past week. Baby girl has actually used the potty at least once each day. She even went and sat down by herself without me or her dad having to make her sit. Major improvements, [...]
