Potty Training Progress

Considering this is only day 4 of potty training Brooke I supposed I should be pleased...however I'm ready for her to be completely done!

For the most part she wears underwear around the house and pull-ups when we go out and an overnight diaper at bedtime (until we run out of them). Today she has been accident free, but wearing a pull up all day because for whatever reason she doesn't want the underwear today (they were her favorite yesterday! Go figure). We went to Target she peed in the potty (if you have little girl you totally need to get the fold up potty seats for stores, makes it so easy!), and then afterwards she peed in the potty in the car and stayed dry the entire time we were out. She has been in the same pull up today and it is still dry!

Prior to today we've been about 50/50. She is going on the potty seven or eight times a day but also have about as many accidents around the house...I'm so glad we have hardwoods throughout! She has even had one poop on the potty which surprised both of us! We're now trying to fight off constipation with her diet since she isn't a big fan of pooping on the potty. My biggest challenge is her sisters schedule! This was much easier with Baileigh when I could cater to her during the process since Mckenna was only 8 months old and didn't have too much of a social life at that point.

The other obstacles is how darn stubborn the kid can be. She will pee when she wants, where she wants. Sometimes she would prefer to go upstairs and pee. Other days pull-ups are not allowed and only panties, next day completely opposite! I should have totalled the numbers spent in the bathroom looking at books and coloring and playing with stickers. Unfortunately for all the hours that Brooke has accumulated doing those things I've also accumulated about as many hours because she wants mommy to sit down, too! Oh well, it will be worth it to be out of diapers soon! Knock on wood!
