A Pissy Weekend

I was going to wait until the end of summer to start potty training Alyssa but when I looked at the calendar and saw Cory was going to be gone for six days straight working and I had a stretch of 3 days where I had nothing planned, I thought what the hell.

A friend had scanned a book she got, 3-day potty training, and emailed it to me. I liked what I had read and decided to go and get all the things I was going to need to get started. Alyssa picked out her princess underwear, we got stickers for her chart, and prizes for when she went pooh and M & M's for the first few times of going pee.

Day one we had a lot of accidents, which was fine and expected. That night I had decided to put her in a diaper even though the book said not to. After about twenty minutes of being in bed I heard her yelling downstairs for me. I went upstairs to find she had taken off her diaper and told me there was pee in it. Great, thanks Alyssa!

The next day was more of the same but she was getting better. She freaks out when she starts to go and it gets on her whether she is naked or has her underwear on. She even started doing a funny little walk that looks like her knees are locked together. At nap time she did make it through without going and her underwear were dry!

Today she woke up and has a little cold. Which explains why she wasn't really acting like herself yesterday. I attempted day three and she was feeling like crap and fighting me over everything. I decided to take a break but much to my surprise when she had to go she took the diaper off and yelled for me but we didn't quite get to the toilet.

Yes, this was what she wore for the weekend a tank top, underwear or bare, and her rain boots. I couldn't get them off of her so don't ask!! We will continue this great road to a diaper free world, well for at least one child!
