"Potty, Poo?"

....and another word that should sound more like Toilet, but lets face it....it doesnt!

As a determined single-mom I set out to potty train my daughter by taking an extended weekend and set a good foundation for using "The Big Girl Toilet" We started Friday morning, so here's a recap"

We dive right into panties then mommy gets scared and puts a pull up on...BIG MISTAKE! For a little girl much like her mommy that wants to wear panties a pull up just aint gonna cut it. Nap time I decide I'm either gonna do this right and take good advice or I'm not gonna do this at all. So, NIX the pull ups! Day 1 ended with the realization that when potty is running down my lil girl's leg she runs to the bathroom saying "Potty, poo mommy"

Knowing juice (flavored water) and Soy milk are the coveted beverage around my 2 yr old, I made an attempt on Day 2 to keep her hydrated in hopes she'd start understanding faster what it meant when she felt the urge to 'Go' End of the day we have success. I was in the other room and came running into the bathroom clapping and yelling Good JOB, Yay!!!! To which my 2 year old thought was pretty cool....along with her lolipop reward and chocolate covered strawberries.

Here we are, Day 3 started rocky...but I doled out 6 lolipops today. I have much faith that we're making progress!!! However beginning to wonder how my baby's gonna do when she comes down off this sugar rush :)
