No more Diapers....

I mentioned in an earlier post that Kennedy is no longer in diapers! We probably should have potty trained her 6 months ago when she started changing her own diapers (seriously, she would throw the dirty diaper in the garbage, wipe herself, occassionally apply A&D, & put a clean pull-up on), but...waiting until she was more than ready made this whole process extremely easy. Basically, we gave her some panties, she agreed to wear them (it must be her idea or it's a no go!) & we never went back to diapers. She had maybe 3 or 4 accidents (2 or 3 were our fault for asking her to hold it) and then what seemed like overnight, Kennedy had mastered potty training! The best part about Kennedy being a "big kid" now is that she spends most of her free time potty training Kehle and the other babies around our house. Note, Kennedy picked up most of her potty training skills from the teachers at school.

Kennedy is always very supportive & encouraging.
She never rushes her students & is quick to tell them what a "great job" they are doing.

Here she is asking Kehle, "Where's the tee-tee?"

She is always there to help Kehle off the potty.

And she never forgets to wipe...

Kennedy makes sure that all potties are kept clean. She has been walking Kehle through all the steps...

and Kehle seems to be a quick study.

If the babies do good on the little potty, they eventually get to use the big potty. Below is baby Kenzie (lovingly named after their baby cousin, Makenzie) using the big potty!

As Kehle works to get the little potty ready for the next baby, Kennedy is encouraging baby Kenzie to use the big potty.

Some of Kennedy's students are a little shy and don't like a lot of attention when using the potty, so Kennedy will say, "I stand out here & listen for the tee-tee, you let me know when you're finished."

I can definitely say that potty training at the Hutto house has been very entertaining!
