We were doing so well! Emily went on the potty 4 times yesterday morning and we were rocking and rolling! Well, I made the mistake of letting the kids go into the playroom and she had 2 accidents in there. I put a diaper on her for nap and was hoping for a fresh start after nap. She didn't go on the potty once after nap...she went on the floor 9 times and on me 3 times! 10 times of that was within a matter of 10 minutes. I totally thought I was being punked! I decided to take a break and start fresh this am. When I put a diaper on her, it was FULL within a matter of minutes. She woke up with a FULL diaper and went on the potty. YAY!! We were off to a great start. We hunkered down in the kitchen again ready for a full day of going on the potty. I had to leave to take J & C to school so my uncle came to sit with Em. She had an accident but ran right to the potty to finish. Ok, I can handle that. She went one more time on the potty and I was convinced we were going to get it right today. Well, egg on my face. She proceeded to have 3 accidents within minutes of each other and that was it. I think she still might be a bit young and I don't want to push her to do it. She will be ready when she is ready and, I know, she will let me know when that is.
Well, for just starting yesterday she isn't doing that bad. Yeah she had accidents but it's only her first day. So... keep it doing! Hope this was a good pep talk?!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pep talk! We are going to wait a few weeks or months before trying again. I think we both need a break. :)
ReplyDeletei feel your pain. my son just turned 3 and will not have anything to do with potty training. i'm going to try to not stress too much about it and when he is ready, he is ready! :)
ReplyDeleteExactly, Nessa...when they are ready, they will let us know. We end up stressing more than they do. Good luck! Hope it all goes well for you.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry! It get's better!
