So we decided to officially start potty training today. Rassie got up with Scarlett this morning because I was exhausted and in desperate need of even an extra 30 minutes of sleep. Needless to say she didn't get set on the potty first thing this morning. Instead she got a diaper change.
- 9:00 a.m. - Scarlett got set on the potty. She didn't go but did have a little gas because she wanted to "poo poo". She gets her big girl training panties put on her!
- 9:20 a.m. - 1st accident of the day! Runs to potty because she needs to "pee pee". We set her on the potty for a few minutes and she's "done". She lays under the dining room table and when she gets up to run off there's a wet spot!
- 9:40 a.m. - Accident #2 ! 15 minutes was too long to wait in between potty breaks. She actually peed on the dining room floor at 9:25 so I figured we'd give it another shot at 9:40. Well I looked over a few minutes before it was time and the butt of her panties were already wet. So our first pair of panties have been put in the laundry basket.
We have the potty in the living room and we plan on giving her 2 m&m's everytime she goes in the potty until I can get a little prize basket of stickers and such put together. Wish us luck
- 10:00 a.m. - Sat on the potty, didn't have to go
- 10:30 a.m. - Sat on the potty, didn't have to go
- 11:00 a.m. - Sat on the potty, had some gas. Think she was trying to poop. Now she's asking for more to drink so we'll get her hydrated up and see what we get between now and naptime! No more accidentes so far.
- 11:15 a.m. - Accident #3 !!!! This one, I have no idea when she peed, seriously. I picked her up and she was dry to the bone. Handed her off to Rassie and she was still dry. He sat her down on the couch and her bottom was wet. Some from Rassie's hip to the couch she managed to pee.
- 12:00 p.m. - Sat on the potty, didn't go. Went down for a nap with a diaper on.
- 2:00 p.m. - up from nap. Diaper is DRY! Sat on the potty on and off until 2:30 but has not gone potty yet. She is wearing only a t-shirt that way she can go sit on the potty whenever she wants instead of us constantly asking her every 20-30 minutes and overwhelming her. We'll see how it goes this way.
- 3:15 p.m. - Accident #3. After running around with only a t-shirt we were forced to put panties back on her because we had company. Several times she had ran to her potty but never went. As soon as the panties were back on, the pee flowed!
- 4:00 p.m. - Scarlett has been on and off the potty as she asks. But this time she pooted and grabbed her tummy telling us she needed to poop. We sat her on the potty but nothing. After about 10 minutes of playing we put her panties back on.
- 4:30 p.m. - Accidnet #4. This time Scarlett ran to the potty and sat on the lid! She peed in her panties because by the time she yelled "pee pee" she had already gone! We're getting closer. Even though she went in her panties she was sitting on the potty.
Not giving up hope just yet. It's only day #1. We did make it through an entire naptime with a dry diaper so that is a total plus. And we've almost made it through an entire day with no diapers (but many accidents!). The only frustrating part has been when you take her off the potty she says "pee" and wants back on and when you put her on she says "done" and wants off. It's really hard to stay calm and not get irritated with her when she plays this game. But it will be totally worth it if she starts using the potty! Oh, and we have yet to have a poop today so I'm trying to prepare for that!
I will update this post throughout the day on our progress.
