Today was a success day on the potty. We are in the process of doing some potty training with Maddie. We haven't transitioned any of it to daycare although I think next week i'll ask her to start putting her on the potty after nap time. While it is a little early Maddie seems to be doing pretty good.
Today at home Maddie did all her peeing on the potty which was great. She peed first thing this morning a few minutes after she got up. While her diaper wasn't dry (some mornings it is others its not) she still went a significant amount which makes me think the pee that was in her diaper was probably either from late last night or very early this morning. Either way a success!
Then after picking her up from daycare this afternoon we took a quick trip to the bank and then had a fairly quick dinner with my friend Tara (Auntie Tara to Maddie). We we got home she was still dry from her last diaper at daycare (about 2 hours after i picked her up) so I put her on the potty. She peed again and we let her wear some of her underwear around the living room while she played. About 45 minutes later she peed again! And now its bedtime so she'll go into a diaper for the night but all in all a pretty successful day for the training. I'm hoping that she's mostly (except nap and night) potty trained within the next few months. I know there will be accidents but she's doing pretty good so far.
I think the more time she spends either in underwear or with nothing on the bottom the better she'll be able to recognize that she has to pee. Tomorrow Jym will have some time alone with Maddie and I'm hoping he'll put her on the potty a few times and we'll see how that goes. It might be an underwear day if they are hanging at home - she loves getting the stickers for her chart and we might try a little piggy bank as she's very into coins/money to see if that will entice her a bit more to sit on the potty. I will most likely post more about this aspect both the struggles and the triumphs. I'm hoping there are more triumphs than struggles but either way I know it's a work in progress.
