Potty Training Update

Just in case I forget all of the wonderful details of potty training......

We really started focusing on this potty thing on Monday night.  Karcie wore her big girl panties after bath until bedtime.  She went potty three times all on her own remember all of the basic steps.  SO PROUD!!

On Tuesday, she had a slightly wet diaper when she woke up even though we made her potty right before bed.  Kamdyn was ALWAYS dry in the mornings even a month or so before we started potty training her.  This is new for us and I'm not sure how the night time wetting will turn out; however, Karcie wore a pull up all day.  She went to the potty on her own throughout the day.  She wet the pull-up once while I was Jazzercising and once later in the date.  I was still pretty proud of this!  Pull up was wet the next morning. 

On Wednesday through Friday, she wore a pull up again for the day.  She had ZERO wet pull ups!  She wore the same pull up all day.  YAY!  Pull up was wet the next morning, but I will still take it!  Still no major protests from her about using the potty.  She likes the process and mostly likes being able to wash her hands by herself.  On a couple of these days I put a diaper on her so that she would go #2.  TMI, I know.  But she's just not ready to do that on the potty yet.

Today, Richard put panties on her first thing in the morning.  She did fine.  She went potty several times. However, she sneaked away upstairs only to come back downstairs with a very full and stinky pair of panties.  YUCK!!  We should have been paying better attention.  The good news is that the pull up has been dry the rest of the day. 

She's doing GREAT!!  MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better than I anticipated.  I have been very nervous to begin this process with her.  I am so thankful that she is turning out to be pretty easy on this most difficult milestone.

My goal is for her to be fully potty  trained during this three weeks that Kamdyn is out of school.  I will not buy another diaper!  We only have a few left and that's it.  Kind of happy and kind of sad!  So bittersweet!
