Day 78

Day 4 of Potty Training....

WENT FABULOUS! I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch, but I think we are basically potty trained over here!

The day started off with a battle-yes, a battle. Lucy refused to go potty on the bathroom potty and after 45 minutes of trying to get her to go, I told I was all done. Either she went potty or she was sitting in wet pants all morning. I wasn't going to deal with this stubborn attitude. After 5 minutes of crying (because I left the bathroom to calm myself down) I came back and asked if her she wanted to try again or not. Surprisingly, she said "Twyy" so we tried one more time and she went!

The day only got better with a pee and poop in a public restroom and only TWO ACCIDENTS out of 9 potties! The two accidents happened late in the day after she had been outside playing in the sun and getting fresh air. I was told by another experienced mom that it was very common after such a long day for them to have a few accidents.

I honestly can't believe my strategies worked. I think by focusing solely on her potty training for 3 days, it helped. I don't expect that we're fully potty trained for a few more days, but I think we are right there. I really can't believe we both made it through this. I am so proud of my little girl!
