4 days and 14 pairs of panties

That's what it took to get Emerson potty trained. We had been trying to get Emerson potty trained for a few months now with very little success. While Emerson had exhibited a lot of the signs that she was ready, she just wasn't ready emotionally. So we decided to back off the training for a while and then set a date to get it done. We had a 4 day weekend over Thanksgiving and after reading about the best strategies, we hunkered down with a chart, stickers and prizes. After sitting down with Emerson and letting her know that the training was in her hands, we took off the pull-up and let her hang around bare bummed. And something finally clicked and the rest of the weekend was a breeze. Emerson got a sticker every time she was successful and you can tell by her chart that she did a great job over the 4 days! We are so proud of her for reaching this milestone. She is still in a pull-up overnight, but she usually wakes up dry, so it won't be long before we are completely trained! GOOD JOB, EMERSON!!!!
