Alleah will be TWO in less then a month! So much has happened with this little girl!! She's talking up a storm lately. She says words but doesn't quite say sentences. She does sometimes. She loves her "melmo" and watching it on Netflix. She knows how to find what she wants on the iPad it's crazy. She LOVES apple juice. I'm convinced that's why she did so good with potty training haha since I gave her a lot of juice. Potty training was so easy! She picked it up quick!! My goal was to have her potty trained by 2 & I'm so happy about it!! She's one smart cookie!! I've had some people ask how I did it & honestly I don't think I could've done it even close to that fast without advice from my mom! It's like she's the pro at potty training!! She had my oldest sister potty trained at 17 months... Crazy right!! (Me @ 21months) I waited until Raylee was born & I was ready to full on potty train. How I did it: at 21 ish months I casually brought out the potty before bath time/ after bed and would see if she'd go. Once she finally did I would get soooo excited & that made her love the reaction I was giving her. After I knew she had full control I decided "alright let's do this thing" how I knew she had control was: at 22 months of so she would pee a couple drops and get excited of course I got excited too cuz even if it's a couple drops it's amazing. I gave her candy, she went back to the potty and went again. I knew right then and there she knew exactly how to use that potty. After I got mentally ready & (bought panties) I'd go full on training. I started out with having her naked and the potty in the living room: she'd just play go to the potty & pee. During the day peeing she caught on quick!! Then one day I thought I'd take a risk after a week of no accidents I took her out of the house to get her a toy & she wore her panties... No accidents. I praised her how good she was for being dry. I think Alleah just loves the attention. Then poop was another story. At first she went on the floor and immediately said "uh oh." I told her "it's okay just gotta go in the potty" next time she freaked out so bad cuz she knew the floor wasn't allowed.. I held her on the toilet and she FINALLY went but she definitely wasn't happy about it. I got even more excited. The next time she freaked out but say on the potty by herself. Nap time: I didn't give her anything to drink an hour before sleeping. She's dry every time. Bed time.., that's more diffiult. But I did the exact same thing as nap time. She did have a couple accidents but that's normal. She's not perfect, there will be accidents from here on out. I love how smart Alleah is!! She may not talk as much as some kids but she sure does catch on things like crawling, walking ect quick. She's a go getter. And she absolutely loves her sister. We did have a scary insistent between them but I'm super mom and can handle anything haha jk. I love that she's wanting to help a lot with Raylee. She loves acting like a mom to her babies. She loves wearing "pretty" underwear. She loves the color "wellow" (yellow) she loves her daddy!! They have so much fun! She tolerates kaya haha. She loves everything. She's just overall the happiest toddler ever!! She would play for hours at the park if I'd let her haha. She gets along so great with other kids. She loves playing with other kids. I am sooo glad!! I can't wait until Raylee is old enough to play with Alleah. It will be fun to watch them grow up together. Love my Alleah :)
