Potty trained girl!!

So last Wednesday we started to potty train Abagayle. Mostly because preschool is starting on the 20th and she has to be potty trained before she can go. We have tried to potty train her three or four times before. She really resisted each time and did not do well so after a day or so we stopped. I got a lot of unsolicited advice about how she was almost three or was three years old and should be potty trained. Brandon and I firmly believe in not pushing it, when they are ready they will let you know. I am so glad we didn't push it. This has been so easy. The first day she got a tiny bit wet and ran to the bathroom to go, after that we have only had two accidents in a week. Plus the most exciting part she stays dry through the night too!!! She is really excited to go to school. We had orientation on Tues so they got to play while we talked to the teachers, she was so sad to leave. Which is a good thing. I am so proud of her. Jackson has been such a big help. He would sit with her in the bathroom the first few days. He asks her if she needs to go to the bathroom, so she can go to school with him. He is growing up so fast. He is such a helper lately.
Bonus for us we only had two in diapers for two weeks, as opposed to two years of two in diapers before :)
She got a my little pony RC scooter from target as her reward, we are going throught the AA batteries now ;) I let Jackson get a toy too, for helping her stay dry.
