Day 1: SUCCESS. Naked the first half of the day and Carter's underwear the second half. Dry diaper after nap. No accidents all day! Yay!
Day 2: Reality sets in. I rethink my craziness of attempting this with my 22 month old. Three accidents. More nakedness. No leaving the house for two days.
The last accident was my fault. I wanted her to go before bed and told her she could have a candy if she went potty. I went to the candy cupboard first....big mistake. I told her she gets a candy if she goes potty. She looked down and peed right there....apparently she really wanted that candy. Lesson learned....to the potty FIRST, candy second!
She will get this....I have to remind myself this. I realize it would probably be bad to turn back now. I would probably confuse the little peanut. We are holding strong and hopefully this sticks!
Day 3: Success in the morning....a couple accidents in the afternoon. I would help if she could talk a little better. It is great if I am watching her and see her cues...but if not - we are on to another pair of underwear!
She now has little girl underwear that she loves, but I still roll at the top. Apparently 2T is the smallest they come!
Day 7: She is getting it, but still has some accidents. She wears underwear all the time except for naps and nighttime (pull up time). She made it through errands on Saturday with NO accidents - yay! I think the more she talks the better it will get. So far so good...I am not giving up yet!

Good for you, Mama! It's such a bittersweet thing to reach milestones like potty training. Independence (and no more diapers!) is definitely desirable, but the selfish part of me wishes they would stay small and helpless forever so I could always help them.
She is absolutely darling.
