Remember when I mentioned that Reagan was going through a phase of continuously removing her clothes? It has progressed to include taking off her diaper too. I tried not to jump to the conclusion that this meant she was ready for potty training. I traveled down this road with Sarah when she was the exact same age. She appeared to be showing signs that she was ready to give it a try and when we attempted to get rid of the diapers, she protested. I didn't want to make the same mistake twice, so I have been reluctant to go at it full force with Reagan,
until the other night......
We were in the family room playing and she walked over to me, stepped out of her pants, took off her diaper, handed it to me, and said, "potty". We walked to the bathroom, I put her on, and within seconds..... She went!
Could it really be this easy the third time around?
I definitely have my doubts, but I am willing to try.
Oh how I would love to kiss those diapers, GOODBYE!
We wear tiaras on our heads, read books, and sing songs.
Basically anything we can do to help things "move" along.
When we have success there are lots of cheers from the crowd.
This in itself, makes our little girl more than proud!
She sits up on that potty looking poised and steady,
But only time will tell....if she is truly ready.

Hope the training goes well! How old is she?
Reagan is a little over 26 months:)
They look so cute Lisa! I love that they keep each other company! My girls have always done that (and Tess wasn't even two when she announced to us she would no longer need diapers!)Gotta love the third one!!
Awesome! Go Reags!! Hard to imagine that she is ready yo try potty training....
LM did the exact same thing at almost the exact same age!! She put on those little Princess panties and never looked back. I couldn't believe it!! I've got my fingers crossed that this is "it" for sweet Reagan!!
Blessings,
Monica
OK - HYSTERICAL!!!! I just love these pics.. Perhaps I need to motivate the littlest Princess over here with her Tiara!!! She could care less!!!! Did I mention she was potty trained when we met her!!
Way to go Reagan!!!!
Hugs,
Diana
I think she can definitely do it! EK decided one day she would not wear diapers anymore, put on panties, and never looked back. She blew me away!!! Hoping the same works for your princess!!! Blessings and love! XO
My third was like that too where the previous two I thought might not get to go to preschool. I like the tiara idea!
Oh, how sweet that Sarah's keeping her company. :)
Go, Reagaan! ♥
this is seriously the cutest thing I have ever seen! LOL! The crowns make it!

Go, Reagan, Go! That is soooo exciting. Time to break out the M&Ms! Good luck!
Way to go Reagan! These pictures are priceless! Hope it continues to to smoothly.
Gin =)
I seriously hope that the third time is the charm! Of course I won't be potty training my little girl for another year, but being done with diapers will be glorious!
Good luck!
Chloe is training right now, too. I am leaving it all up to her. Just went and got her some pull-ups for Daycare and panties at home. Very exciting times!
I say GO FOR IT! My Bella was 24 months when she said "I no wear diapers I am a big girl." I told her she had to wear diapers - but she insisted and won. she did have one accident ;) Tia did pretty much the same thing at about 30 months (NO ACCIDENTS!). My boys were both over 3.
I LOVE that top photo. It is one of my favorite of yours ever. isn't that funny? maybe because it is so 'real'.
xo ellie
Reagan looks so little on that BIG potty.Sarah is such a very good big sister.
So cute shots! :)
Yay Reagan! What a great big sister Sarah is to sit and read to her in the potty! Adorable!!
Happy Friday!

So sweet! Good luck!
So cute! A true thrown! GOod luck with the training!
Linking up for the first time!
Only you could take pics in the bathroom and have them be adorable. Love these two shots of the princesses and yes, GO REAGS, GO!! Such a smart, sweet girl. Hope she continues to do well and that the path to being a diaper-free house in a short one!!
Happy weekend, my friend!
I say YES it can be this easy the 3rd time around! Hope it goes well..
My experience was that my boys took a long time, Grace picked it up quickly. Yaay for Reagan!!
Have a great weekend!
xoxo
They look so sweet together, gotta love the sister thing. This day will be coming my way soon! Have a wonderful weekend.

Nice.... love the photos..
Happy Friday...
Muwahhh
Aww. Good luck with potty training. I am sure she will do great.
And you're a poet too?!
sweet pictures of a stage we all remember!
Wouldn't it be something if she was ready to train? My middle girl was like that "i want to go on the potty" and in the space of 3 or 4 days, that was it! trained!
You're right to go with the relaxed attitude, if it happens fine, if not, it will in its own time.
Love the tiaras! Sweet!
Oh my!!! She may just be ready- sometimes it is just that easy. She has her big sister to look up to & emulate. I love the crowns- I sooooo miss those days when my girls would play dress up. It goes by so quickly! Adorable- thanks for the smile this morning Lisa!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these photos. There must be a children's magazine that would love them, too, with your poem.
They are adorable. Every little girl should potty train in a tiara :)
It was easy like that when I was nanny once too! We had a stack of books next to the potty.
Oh I needed a good laugh! Seems to me the girls got it down, right down to the Crown and their very own Throne. what a hoot Lisa. Also cute poem. Seems everything is going smoothly with a little encouragement from big sis Sarah!
I love that shot. Look at her sitting there. She could be royal indeed, such stature :) Very cute!
Thanks for the comment. I love wearing my "hook" too!
We are just wrapping up potty training with our son (said just an hour after he had an accident on the living room floor)...hope it goes smoothly for you! We were not so lucky!
Can you believe we are getting our babies out of nappies? Already? How did that happen so quickly? G is "ready" to say BYE too, but half of me is really excited/pleased and the other half is NO, I DONT WANT TO LOOSE THAT BABY STAGE!!!
Dont their little toushes look os tiny tiny in panties?? LOVE ;)
The photos are hilarious.
And your poem? Perfect! Hope the third time is a charm. ;)
Super CUTE! They are both growing up so fast!
Love the pictures and the poems is just too cute!!!! Now that's what I call a PRINCESS on her THRONE!!! Go Reagan!!!
(hee hee) Love that sister time in the bathroom. Lottie and Emma still go to the potty together! When we went home for our daughter's wedding, we were at our dearest and bestest friends house, Allie Boo, to play. Lottie needed to go potty and they both turned to Allie Boo (only child) and said, "Do you want to come with us?" Allie had the strangest look on her face and her Mommy said, "No thank you sweet girls!". My girls just shrugged their shoulders like...Hhmph...wonder why she didn't want to come??" ha ha
Love your girls, these are really great pictures:)
LOL!! Those photos are PRICELESS! How adorable. I love that they go together. Sounds to me like you are off to a super-great start ~ but the 'princess on her throne' is just too appropriate. Love it!!
...and I had to giggle at Kim's story above about Lottie and Emma, asking their friend to join them ~ cracked me up!! ;)
Hope it goes well for you! For us it didn't take long and even though she still has the occasional accident (within 24 hours of steam cleaning the carpets of course!) it's still a treat to be out of diapers! Hope your Reags does well and oh my, do the girls look cute in their tiaras!
Oh yeah!! Hope this goes well. Good luck. No more diapers sounds great doesn't it??
