For those of you unfamiliar, Potty Talk is my ongoing series on the joys of potty training. The first installment was in January 2008, soon after we began potty training with Bridget.

Since the last Potty Talk post things have improved quite a bit. Bridget had been in a bit of a slump, and I think that she was loosing hope that she’d ever get another PEZ dispenser. We decided to try for sort of a mini goal and award her a PEZ dispenser after only 3 […]

Previously on Potty Talk and Potty Talk, Volume II, Bridget had taken more of an interest in being independent when she uses the bathroom and she had been pretty free of accidents.

As a continuation of my first “Potty Talk” post. . . Bridget has gotten to the point of heading to the bathroom to do her thing without even telling me that she needs to go. Even though its good to see her express some independence here, it makes me nervous and scared. She’s getting pretty […]
