Potty Training

DAY 1

So I decided it was time, time to stop buying and changing two sets of diapers. Therefore POTTY TRAINING has begun. Now Olivia has been to the toilet a few times and she knows what goes on it there but that didn't stop her from wreaking havoc all over the house today. In case you don't know Olivia is extremely stubborn and already opinionated. She usually does things on her own time table but Mom is fed up with changing diapers every hour. So this morning we had a long talk about going "pee pee" on the potty and getting to wear big girl panties (she even got the ones with Ariel and Tinkerbell on them). Well Accident 1 happened right before breakfast, Accident 2 happened during breakfast, and Accident 3 happened after breakfast. Anyways Olivia went through 5 pairs of panties and I mopped my kitchen three times (gross I know. Am I sharing to many details?) I was just about to give up when nap time finally came around. She went back into a diaper and I got a two hour break. After nap time we went back to the panties and she actually stayed dried for about two and half hours. However we spent those two and half hours sitting right by the potty. Anyways to make a long story short Olivia finally made it to the potty. Mom and Dad made a big deal about it and she was very excited. For the next hour she kept saying "I need go pee" and she would run to the potty. Now nothing actually came out but she was getting the idea. She stayed dry after that through dinner and up until bath time. We are very proud of our big little girl. We'll see how tomorrow goes.
