Landry woke up with a wet diaper. Of course that is to be expected. I strapped on the big girl panties right away. She ate breakfast, drank a little lemonade (not three cups like yesterday). For the next two hours I sat her on the potty a few times and asked her several times if she had to tee tee on the potty. She kept telling me no. And for those 2 hours, she did not use the bathroom at all. I had a hair appointment so I had to leave my duties to Cory. You know he was really looking forward to that. But while I was at my appointment, I got a text from him saying she had gone on the potty. VICTORY! So when I got back, we asked her again if she had to go. We gave her a little more to drink, sat her on the potty for a few minutes while she watched a movie, but nothing. A few minutes after she got up, she had an accident. Grrr! And then another. Double Grrrr! We then decided to feed her lunch and let her play for a little bit before nap-time. i sat her down on her potty again to try one more time before nap. She sat there, reading a book to herself for 15 minutes, but nothing happened. I put a diaper on her for nap and surprisingly, she woke up dry! This afternoon/evening, she tee-teed two times on the potty, and was still dry when I put her to bed.
So, I am not as tired as I was yesterday. Maybe it's because I'm not obsessing as much. I don't know. I am just questioning whether the potty training is doing any good at this point. Is she getting it at all, or is she just sitting on the potty enough times during the day to actually avoid some accidents? I am just praying, that by some miracle, everything will magically internalize for her tomorrow.
And I welcome any advice from experienced moms. I know that all kids are different, and I'm willing to try anything.
I don't have any pictures today because they would just look the same as yesterday.
