WE'RE GETTING HOPEFUL!

I've had a REALLY tough time p*tty training Elizabeth. REALLY tough. She knows what to do, but seems too lazy to actually do it. We had the same kind of difficulty with Andrew.

About 3 weeks ago, she went "stinkies" on the potty for the very first time...and since that day, she has not had 1 stinky accident...at all. We are SO proud of her for that.

NOW-if she can just get the p*eing in the potty I'd be one really happy mama!

I did this with Andrew, although I didn't know it was an actual "method", and then read about it on my friend's blog Somewhere in the Sun...you let the kid run around without a diaper on and that way they can learn what the sensation "to go" is. It worked like a charm with Andrew so I thought I'd try it last night with Elizabeth.

Within 10 minutes of having just a shirt on she came running to me "I've got peeps!" So I say "OK..." and before I can do or say anything, she squatted (like over a squatty potty) and peed all over my kitchen floor.

I was so frustrated.

Then, today, all day long she's had a dry diaper. She tells me she needs to go and we run to the bathroom...and as I'm getting her undressed she says "no peeps on mommy's floor-just peeps in the potty". hehehe!

I realize it's probably too soon to be too excited about going 1/2 of 1 day with a dry diaper..but she SO quickly trained herself with "stinkies", that I'm REALLY hoping once she gets the peeps in the potty idea she'll be quickly trained too.
