For 3 days in a row, Mikayla was having her morning tub and requested to get out so she could...um...go #2. I pulled her out of the tub and sat her on the toilet and she went. On the 3rd day, I asked if she'd like to wear panties instead of a diaper. She said she did. She had a lot of success that first day and a few accidents here and there. On day #4, she didn't have a single accident all day long. She's been staying dry during naps and at night time as well. Wow!
Since the last time we tried to potty train her, I didn't talk to her at all about going to the bathroom, but any time anyone else in the family needed to go, we got really excited about going. It seems silly, but the idea is to take the pressure off her and make potty training seem really exciting. So this go round has been totally different. She will go willingly any time we ask and doesn't fight back because this was her idea. She wanted to do it. So she could be cool, like the rest of us. *wink* It's been about a week and a half now. She's doing well but if she has a lot to drink, she needs the potty every 20 minutes. We're hitting about 75% success with accidents more frequent when she's playing. I'm pretty scared for church. Merril is out of town and the idea of being stuck on the stand leading music while Mikayla needs to go worries me. We'll be taking plenty of back up outfits to church with us tomorrow.
Even with the accidents, I feel like we're on the right track! She's excited and that's a wonderful thing.
