I took the big leaped and decided we would potty train indefinitely. about a week and a half ago I started to read Potty Train in Three Days I took all the ideas and advice seriously and began the preparations for Lil Pumpkin to start the big step into toddlerhood!
When the day came to begin we did everything the book said, had a diaper throwing away ceremony and put her in the big girl underwear. Whoa! Let me say I did not know having to be that HAPPY and POSITIVE would be so exhausting!!! By the end of day two I was ready to give up, cry & swear-and I did in my own company. I told Cliff to please get her to bed and that I need my own "time out" I was overwhelmed, tired, and lost. I got back on my Kindle app and read the book cover to cover and reread for the third time the part about the three days. Especially day two and three.
Day Three comes, I am giving it a fresh start and I WILL be happy no matter what. Mind you day one she did pee on the potty in the evening-with her clothes on. Day two she went successfully around 3p with daddy. Then day three... SUCCESS!! Potty at 10a and only a few opps that day. I could not ave been happier and more proud of her! (and my husband and I). It was so tiring. But we did it and what a relief.
Day four, we left the house, FINALLY! I brought the potty seat with me and she pee-peed every 30-40 minutes after each errand we ran. I am happy I can say it happened before she turn two, which would be day six if we were counting. She still struggles with staying dry through the night, but we will get there.
A week ago today began the success and we are excited and proud of her! what a BIG girl :-)
