Last week I decided the time had come to get on with potty training. Bailey has been good about going while at school but wasn't too interested when she got home. The calendar was looming and the fact that it was a three day weekend was the perfect fit to get r done! We started talking about it during the week- my excitement was shot when her little fingers popped up waving in the air "mommy I will not wear big girl underwear"...oh dear this is going to be fun! We had some princess panties and one night she seemed pretty excited to try them on...quickly followed by running into the kitchen and hiding behind the curtains while she proceeded to pee all over the floor! So Friday came and we needed a big event to get her excited, so off to Kohls we went to let her pick out her own panties!
She was SO proud! She even brought them into the next store opening them up in the dressing room trying to put them on over her pants!
So Saturday was the big day - off with the diapers..on with the panties! She did great! She even asked to go to the bathroom twice while at Disney on Ice!
All afternoon was perfect! That night we went to the block party and mom didn't pay attention to well to the time... So the accidents happened! All in all day 1 was way better than I expected!
Day two we braved breakfast out of the house and she did great! All afternoon she had no accidents and made it seem like potty training was going to be a breeze!
That night we headed for a evening of fun with the cousin and family... She got distracted and we had accidents! Oh well it's all part of learning, plus she was having too much fun to remember!
Day 3 came and she decided to play and really big joke and forget every single thing we had been working on! Accidents among accidents-but she did fill the chart and we celebrated with ice cream to hopefully re-encourage her to keep trying!
Yesterday was her first day away from me 100% in panties, I was slightly nervous given the way the day before ended up. I told the teacher to take her every 30 minutes and hopefully that would keep us ahead of the accidents. Yesterday when I picked her up she had the same pants on as the morning! Not ONE mistake what a proud moment! She is still wearing diapers to bed and at nap but is 100% in panties during the day! I am SO glad she is trained and so proud of her for doing so well!!!!
