Potty Training Day 1

I am crazy.

Officially.

I have decided to start potty training. And I learned a few things my first day.

1. It might be easier to potty train LB during "break through" times - ie when her ddavp is starting to wear off. Then she wants to drink and pee more.

2. TV/Ipad games and potty training do not mix. Anytime I needed "me time" (cleaning the kitchen, checking the email, etc) I usually would sit LB with the ipad or with a show on TV but LB was so engrossed with her games or TV that she peed on the towel I had her sitting on. This happened twice.

3. The novelty of potty training has worn off and I am already tired of potty talk :P haha

4. But when she does go potty there is such triumph in that moment that I totally forget the 30 other times I sat her on the potty with no success.

5. I'm not even thinking about night time training but when it does cross my mind - it terrifies me! yikes.

Day 1 is almost over and the tally is this:
- 2 disposables (1 for night time, one for nap)
- 1 used cloth (early this morning before we officially started)
- 1 dry cloth (we used to go get my oil changed this morning - she was dry the whole time!)
- 2 accidents (on the towel. 1 with the ipad while I was making lunch and the other while watching Mickey while I checked my email - guilty!)
- 1 pee on the potty that I caught mid-pee (While playing with playdoh I hear an "uh oh" so I grabbed her, put on the potty and she did a full pee!)
- 2 full pee potty's (ie me sitting her on there and her going on her own for a full pee!)

Not too shabby!


P.S. I'm trying not to share too much "potty" talk on FB so be forewarned I will be sharing it on here :-)

Activity #2 provided about 5 minutes of fun

End of the day - tired of sitting in the bathroom so I brought the potty out to watch some Tv (and she did pee on it while out here - on her own!!)
