These were taken yesterday. I was trying to encourage her to sit and try. So I handed her some of the Sunday ads to look at while she tried. She liked looking at he pictures.
Charli and I had a whole weekend at home with the emphasis being on her going potty on the potty chair. Saturday was not great. I was nearly ready to call it quits. If you haven't done this yet, it's not really that bad, but then again it's not real fun either. I stayed really positive for her and kept encouraging her to try. But she had more accidents than successes. I went through nearly every pair of big girl pants (the double layer kind) and a ton of rags. As Sunday approached I was optimistic that maybe this would be a better day. She had 2 small accidents before nap time. (I am still doing diapers for naps and nighttime right now) And then after her nap it was like a switch was flipped. She went in the potty chair the rest of the day. She even went all by herself a couple of times and would come running to tell me, "mommy, peepee". The first time I thought it was an accident but was thrilled to find out it wasn't. My folks dropped by to drop off a casserole they'd made for us and she even went while they were there. She was soooo excited. She jumps up and claps her hands and cheers. I think it's adorable. Now if we can just keep this up.
Today she is at school and they will continue to work with her. I am hopeful that she will continue to get better with each day. And if all does go well, we may just be done with daytime diapers by Christmas. Now that would be a real present. I'll let you know.....
