Potty Training

~The following is notes I took while training ~

November 3, 2010

I cleared my week. I'm doing hard core potty training. No diapers,
pull ups, training pants, or plastic pants. Just panties, nerves, deep
breathing and faith....

DAY1
I told Ryiah there were no more diapers and she got to start wearing
big girl panties today! She no, "No." Then I showed her they were
Hello Kitty and she smiled.

We've gone through 8 pairs of panties so far and it's only 10:00am.
She doesn't seem to mind peeing on herself.

Ryiah just went down for a nap. I'm nervous.

She woke up dry!

By the end of the day we went through about 20 pairs of panties!

DAY 2
Ryiah woke up last night about 1:30am and had wet the bed. She went
back down and woke up dry this morning!

It is 1:30pm and we have not had one accident!

***Man I Love This Girl!***

Okay... 2 accidents the whole day. Awesome!

DAY 3
Ryiah slept through the night and woke up dry! Aside from her whining
for no reason this morning to the point of me wanting to drop kick
her, things are going perfect!

DAY 4 AND BEYOND
Ryiah has got the potty down! Best moment yet - she needed to go potty
on the way home from Costco and I told her,  "Hold it! Wait! We're
almost home!" She folded her arms and closed her eyes tight. Haha - she
made it! It was almost 3-4 minutes and she made it! Awesome little lady!


So it is now 3 weeks later and Ryiah has done exceptionally well. She has accidents every now and again but I think they are generally from holding it too long and as she tells me she needs to potty she is no longer able to hold it. She does very well though. I am so proud of her! Potty trained at 19 months is early, so I'm okay witht the accidents.
This picture was not taken during training. She is now an expert pottier and sometimes takes her own reading material. It's weird that she does this because (maybe this is too much info but...) she's never seen me read on the pot. I do my thing and I'm done. No need to waste time, but apparently she feels otherwise.

Hillarious. Oh I remember the days of potty training Maddie. Stubborn little thing one time just looked at me and peed right in the doorway of the bathroom. She was 2 steps from the tile, but purposely peed on the carpet! Arggghhh! 18 months old and potty trained is awesome!!!
