Victor(ia)'s Secret

24. A big girl

After quite some time as a baby, Victor showed the signs of wanting to grow up again. And so his parents made the decision to begin potty training him once more. Rachel readily offered her assistance. She understood the importance of supporting Victor during this transition and wanted to be there for him every step of the way.

"Victoria, guess what? Your mommy and daddy think it's time to start potty training," she said, her voice filled with enthusiasm as she sat down next to him. "And you know what? I'm going to be here to help you through it!"

Victor's eyes widened with a mix of excitement and apprehension. "W-weally, Rachy? You'll hewp me?" he asked, his voice betraying a hint of nervousness.

She nodded, offering reassurance. "Absolutely, Victoria. I'm here to support you just like I've supported you in other aspects of your journey. Potty training is a big step, but we'll take it one day at a time, and I'll be right there with you."

Together, Rachel and Victor's parents formulated a plan, discussing strategies and establishing a routine that would help Victor become comfortable with using the potty. They agreed on gentle encouragement, positive reinforcement, and patience.

During their time together, Rachel made sure to create a comfortable and encouraging atmosphere. She helped Victor understand the cues and signals again that his body provided, reminding him to listen to his own needs. She cheered him on with excitement and praise for every successful attempt and offered comfort and understanding during any setbacks.

"Great job, Victoria!" she exclaimed, clapping her hands with pride as Victor successfully used the potty. "You're doing so well! I'm really proud of you."

Victor beamed with pride, appreciating her support and encouragement. "Tank you, Rachy. I'm twying my best!"

She knelt down to his eye level, her voice filled with sincerity. "And that's all anyone can ask for, little Victoria. You're doing amazing, and I'm here to help you through this process. Remember, accidents happen, and it's all part of learning. We'll keep practicing and getting better together."

Throughout the journey of potty training, Rachel remained patient, understanding, and consistent. She celebrated even the smallest victories and provided gentle guidance during moments of frustration. She recognized that each child's progress was unique and that the process required time and understanding.

Victor on the other hand seemed to struggle a bit. "Have I really become so dependent on my diapies?" he wondered and he was amazed as well at how much he had adapted to talking like a toddler.

Luckily, with Rachel's support and the consistent efforts of his parents, Victor made steady progress in his potty training journey and his parents decided to celebrate his achievements by transitioning from diapers to princess-themed pull-ups. Victor was thrilled with the new pull-ups, feeling like a true princess every time he wore them.

As the days turned into weeks, Victor's confidence grew. His accidents became rarer, and he  began recognizing his body's signals again and taking the initiative to use the bathroom on his own. The bond between Rachel and Victor strengthened as they worked together towards this milestone.

Soon enough, Victor became fully potty trained. He proudly announced to his parents and Rachel that he no longer needed diapers. They all celebrated his achievement, praising his hard work and determination. Rachel couldn't contain her excitement. She hugged him tightly, her voice filled with joy. "Victoria, you did it! You're officially a potty-trained big girl!"

Victor giggled, returning the hug with equal enthusiasm. "Thank you, Rachel. I couldn't have done it without you."

Rachel smiled, feeling a sense of fulfillment in witnessing Victor's growth and accomplishments. "Look at you, using your big girl words! You deserve all the credit, Victoria. You worked hard, and I'm so proud of you. Remember, I'll always be here to support you, no matter what new adventures await."
