Gemma is officially potty training. Many moms I spoke to over the past few months said they were potty training since they were home all the time. I thought, nope. Not doing it. And then I realized we will be home for a lot longer. Church is only once a month starting this month for probably the next several months, potentially until a vaccine is widely available. Houston is still trending the wrong way so we won't be going out very often. Joseph is working from home until at least October. So I went for it. We are on day six of Gemma potty training. We've had two pee accidents and a few stinkies outside or in a swimsuit. She is naked 95% of the day. Any underwear on and she thinks it is a diaper. I put dresses on her to cover her up if we have neighbors in the backyard or something. At this point, I'm good with that. If we take her out, I'll just put a diaper on her. I am approaching this with minimal stress involved for everyone.
Her prize is a Frozen sticker on a piece of paper. Super low key and no treats involved. She loves it and so do I. So far, she caught on pretty quickly and holds it until she can get to the potty. Overall, I am impressed with her progress. We'll see how it sticks once life goes back to "normal" in several months/a year.

Good luck! Potty training is the worst. I hope Gemma catches on quickly.
