Potty Training....again **with an update

well we started potty training again, based on following Izzy's lead this weekend...it started Saturday morning we were at our favorite coffee shop in town and she said she had to go potty (she had a diaper on) at first i thought she just wanted to go in their bathroom and watch me because we always go to their bathroom before we leave, so at first i didn't do anything, but she kept telling me, so i took her in, took off her diaper adn sure enough she went pee!!! Saturday night, she wanted to go on teh potty before her bath, and she did it..not just drippings as she calls it but actually emptied her bladder. Well then Sunday morning she had a diaper on, and pooped and when we changed her she asked for underwear. So I put her in underwear and we went out to breakfast. She said she had to go potty while at the resturant and i took her to the bathroom and sure enough she went! So we left her in underwear all day other than nap and bed and she had ZERO accidents!

This morning she is in underwear again, and although she hasn't peed yet on the potty, she hasn't had any accidents. She won't go anytime i ask her to go but she hasn't gone in her underwear. I am just hoping that she will hold it till she wants to go (or can't hold it anymore and has to go). I know now that she can hold it as long as she wants..i just hope she will go this morning before we leave the house. We have 2 errands to run and then are heading to meet my mom for lunch..so we will see. I have spare clothes packed.

I think this is my sign to force underwear even if she resisits a little, she is clearly ready...so we will see. Stay tuned.....

** we just got home from our errands adn lunch and I am happy to report Iz did GREAT. I was able to get her to pee before we left the house (with the help of a swedish fish) and she tried to go at hte library until the automatic toliet freaked her out...but she did go at the resturant!!!! YIPEEEEEEE. I put her in a diaper for her nap but she will be going right back into underwear when she wakes up. She probably will have to poop this afternoon so that will be our first real test of pooping on the potty..she has yet to ever do it or even try.....we will see what happens!

YAY! Izzy!!

My daughter got pee down right away, I can probably count the accidents on one hand. Poop was a whole different ballgame...she just turned four and we are finally done with the poop accidents, ugh! That was so frustrating!!

I really think potty-training was one of the most difficult things I have encountered as a parent, you are doing great, though!
