Potty Training

Well we did it. Horray! Last Friday I spent the entire day in the bathroom. Well not really but it sure seemed like it. I read the book Toilet Training in Less Than a Day. ( I highly recommend this book by the way) and I did everything it said to do. We gave Lizzy lots to drink and just waited until she had to go. At first she refused to sit on the potty for more than a second. Then when she did need to go she wouldn't relax to go on the potty.... so needless to say we ended up with a few puddles all over the house that day. I was exhausted by the end of the day and really thinking I made a mistake and should have waited. The next day she only had one accident, but still would only go when there was absolutely no way she could hold it any longer. Every day since she has done fantastic. She loves going potty now and she doesn't even tell me when she needs to go she just does it herself. It has been so easy compared to what I have heard a lot of people go through. I guess I finally deserved to have something go easy.


She is really funny about it now, she loves her panties and walking around the house in them, She also says "Cinderwatta (that is how she says cinderella) is so happy I went pee pee in the potty!" Then she goes on to list everyone she knows and how they are so happy she went pee pee in the potty. Obviously her cinderella panties are her favorites, she wants to wear them everyday. She thinks she is so big that she refuses to wear pull-ups to bed, because they are for babies. So we are going to have to buy a rubber mattress pad or something to save her bed.
