This is how I documented Bun Bun's potty training journey. I put a sticker on the calendar for everyday that she did not have any accidents. If she woke up in the morning dry, I put another sticker in between two day. The pictures below showed her progress. We didn't really do the sticker rewards because she they weren't really her thing. So, these aren't stickers that she put on the calendar herself. As you can see, Bun Bun has made amazing progress!
We started shortly before Christmas in 2015. We drudged through January very discouraged and nearly gave up a few times. Even going into February, I wondered if we should just wait until the summer. Then, it seems like something clicked, almost overnight. Maybe Bun Bun learned how she can hold it?
Now, Bun Bun is still greatly challenged by speech production. She will not tell us when she needs to go. We get around that by setting a timer. When she hears it go off and she feels the need, she willingly head to her potty chair. That timer, apparently, has been the key to her success. Speaking of speech, we restart intensive, outpatient speech therapy today.
Needless to say, I am thrilled for her! After lots of angst and even more prayers, we have a potty-trained child! I also have a full case of diapers that I can take back to the store for a refund!
