Dry day!...kinda

So the timer seemed to work yesterday...she got very excited every time the timer went off: "It's time to go POTTY!!!" She even wanted to take a nap in her panties :) (I needed to change the sheets anyway so I agreed-fresh sheets aaaahhhh). I feel like I spent the whole day taking her to the potty, going potty, and waiting for the next time...oh wait, that's really what I did :) So I must chalk yesterday up as a success. Today we have several errands to take care of, so it may be a bit trickier...also I need to extend the time on the timer and eventually work it out of the mix or she will be going every 25 mintues forever.

potty log day 154

Ok so I don't really know what day it is in our potty training experiance...what I do know is that it has been going on for a very long time! Over the weekend, I started to use a timer, set every 20-30 minutes. She actually goes potty whenthe timer goes off, with out a fight...for about the first 3 hours. Then the novelty wears off and it back to the "but I don't have to"'s. This morning, I was resolved to go back to pull-ups (retiring the panties for a couple of weeks), but she asked for panties! Hour 1: potty twice and then poopies and pee-pees in the panties...AAARRRGGGGHHHH! Get her all cleaned up and threw the panties away...new panties on and the timer set...Hour 2: potty 3 times in a row and counting!!!
