Madeline truly surprised me.... Potty trained by 2

Madeline just turned TWO and she potty trained herself. I had a feeling Madeline would potty train early but not this early. She had been telling me that she was pooping when she was farting, literally pooping or just when she was peeing. I was pretty impressed. Dominics BF Joeys sister potty trained herself (she is 3 now) and I was thinking to myself only if I would be so lucky when Madeline's ready and I was. It all started the night the Patriots made it to the SuperBowl. Dominic and daddy went over to Nanas and Bampas as mommy and grandma stayed home watching the game. Madeline was running a VERY low-grade fever. We thought it would be a good idea to hang back and just have fun.


We started off the night with pizza, arts and craft then started to get crazy. We wore our big girl underpants and she did really well. We had 7 pairs and she slightly wet the first 5 and then started to get the hang of it. Pooping came to a lot easier but only by a day or two. That week at school I informed them of how well she was doing. How she took interested and was also vocally telling kids in her class how easy it was. The following week Madeline has been excussing herself and going potty when she needs to and then going back to play. At school since she has been staying dry when she wakes up from the nap they thought it would be a good idea to try to have her nap in her underwear. Both days she woke up dry and went potty when she woke up. I have just started this at home on the weeks and it be a win-win.

So overall since the end of January Madeline has been doing FABULOUS and can even hold ing it. Even when we have put a pull-up on her she still feels as though its underpants and will pee and poo when she needs  too.
