Just remember that not only when everything is going well I.e. when you and your delightful toddler just made organic pancakes from scratch, while unicorns and rainbows cavorted above your heads, but remember it when your rocking in a ball on the floor in your closet snot crying cause you feel awful. You are doing a great job!! Seriously, we have all been there, and will be again. Just whisper or scream to yourself that you are a great mom, doing a great job!!! hugs :) BrocanteuseRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04904302094711336419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1054440755657956327.post-78844384597399141182017-09-15T15:55:37.850-04:002017-09-15T15:55:37.850-04:00Thank you so much!

Her sleep problems were slightly worse when we pottty trained but honestly it was bad before. I just bought this miracle and I have to say (even though my husband thought this had a snowball's chance in hell) it actually worked!<br />https://www.amazon.com/Its-About-Time-Stoplight-Enhancing/dp/B00NF0ELJ8<br /><br />The first night I used it we made a BIG deal about taking the clock out of the box and plugging it in. Then I turned it on and explained "Red mean she you stay in bed, green mean she it is time to get up. If you stay in bed until the light turns green you will get a prize (I strongly believe bribery is the only way to survive parenthood)". She has stayed in bed EVERY night.

But my mom suggested having her go potty just before bed, so maybe that'll help?
