Day 1 Thoughts
- Started at 6:00 am. As the book instructed, we went straight to big girl panties. We went to the mall the day before and stocked up, I let her pick them out so she was very excited about it!
- I encouraged her to drink fluids all day----she even got juice, which is not a daily thing with us.
- Had a total of 5 accidents in day one. Not too bad.
- I decided to continue to use pull ups at nap and night time. I think when she starts waking up dry repeatedly, we will completely retire that. She did have a 2 hour dry nap, so I think that's a good sign.
- Instead of asking "Do you have to teetee?" you should say, "Don't for get to tell us if you have to go teetee and we will run to the potty."
- I like how the book made a point of discouraging going to the potty to 'try,' they need to learn to go to the potty when they have to go. This method definitely teaches that
- We used lots of positive reinforcement! She gets 2 mini M&M's after each successful potty trip and lots of hugs, "I'm proud of yous," and high fives!
Day 2 Thoughts
- I am too exhausted to even think. No, seriously, my child was so eager to continue training that she woke up at 5:20. The sun wasn't even up!
- I am thinking that this was WAY too easy. We have had zero accidents today. I am so surprised, and I don't want to speak too soon, but I think she is catching on.
Day 3 Thoughts
- I am so glad that we decided to go this route for potty training.
- Another day with ZERO accidents. Amazing!
- We even left the house today. I ran a quick errand and went for an hour walk---all with big girl panties on.
This was such a fun weekend, but I have to say I am glad it is coming to an end. Potty Training is exhausting!
