Right after Kyle was born Hallie potty trained herself. I’m not joking! We took off her diaper, she had two accidents and then figured it out. This continued for a couple weeks. Pee and Poop! She went to Church in panties, but not the store (Kyle was tiny and we didn’t go out yet.) We were amazed and I knew that I lucked out BIG time.

However, fast forward two weeks and Hallie decides “No way!  Kyle wears diapers and everyone pays lots and lots of attention to him…..I’m going to wear diapers too!” From that point on she would throw a huge tantrum when we would refuse to put a diaper on her. She then took it one step further and started peeing everywhere knowing that we would have to put a diaper on her to stop the madness! Well, she won and went back to diapers.

Fast forward 8 months. Two kids in diapers is crazy expensive (and lets be honest I need that money to dye my hair. j/k) We knew she could do it so while I was in New York on my girls trip Ben let her run around naked all day. It was exactly the same as before: two accidents then perfection. Well, lets define perfection: wears panties all the time except for sleeping and stores. (Stores are just too much for me to handle with 2 kids and the germafobe I am.) Oh and she doesn’t poop in the potty yet. She waits until she gets a diaper on for sleep and then goes.

It has been three weeks and she is doing great. Yay for potty training my stubborn little genius. I know it won’t be this easy for any of my other kids.
