Update on potty-training...Updated

***Updated...If you do not enjoy reading about the trials of potty-training, then I suggest you find another blog to read for the next few days. It's what is consuming my life, so it will consume my blog. You have been warned.
Today was a fantastic day! No accidents at home, panties were dry the whole day, she woke up DRY from her nap (she wears a diaper to nap and bedtime)...and then, we went to the grocery store. I put her in a Pull-Up and told her if she needed to potty she needed to tell me. All through the grocery store, I reminded her and asked her. Each time she told me that she didn't have to go. Went to Chick-fil-A after that and repeated the same question and answer series. We were sitting there, I was feeding Elyn and Nora was eating her chicken when she looked at me and said, "Tee-tee!". I scooped up Elyn as fast as I could, asked the ladies sitting at the table beside us to watch my stuff (they looked honest) and ran Nora to the Ladies' Room. I sat her up on the potty and she went!!!! Yea! AND her Pull-Up was dry! And when Matthew got there, after his meetings, she said she had to go to the potty again! She went to the potty and still had a dry Pull-Up! I was so proud of her!!! I was a little concerned though because she hadn't pooped all day! I kept telling all day that if she needed to poop then she needed to go on the potty. she kept telling me no. Fast forward to bathtime...she pooped. AND she blamed it on Elyn! Hahahahahahahaha!!!!! Apparently my girl has a case of the "shy poops". I'm hoping it does not lead to constipation! Any suggestions?
Overall, I feel like today was a success!

Ughhh...I am exhausted! Potty training is not a bed of roses...so, if you think it is you are a LIAR!

Yesterday, as I mentioned before, was a beating. She had FIVE accidents in the morning and I was ready to call it quits. Thankfully, Matthew came home for lunch and brought some sanity with him. I sure appreciated that dose of sanity.

The afternoon was much better! She was accident free...until we got to church.

I decided to stay in her class with her because I didn't feel it was fair to saddle her teachers with the load I had brought. I constantly asked her if her panties were dry and they were. The problem happened when I started feeling smug. I looked over and saw an odd look on her face. Yep, you guessed, she had pooped in her panties.

This was the first time she had pooped all day and didn't quite know what to do, what with her being in panties and all.

We cleaned up and 5 minutes later it happened AGAIN!

I cleaned her up again and put on the last pair of panties I had brought.

I continued to ask her if her panties were dry when all of a sudden I saw her grab herself and say, "Potty!". Sadly, we didn't make it in time and her last pair of panties was wet. I put a diaper on her and left the room. I mean, there was no need for me to hang around anymore.

I wasn't sure I was up to a repeat from yesterday when I woke up this morning. So, I put a diaper on her first thing (I know, I'm a quitter). But, low and behold, she announced she had to tee-tee a few minutes after.

So, at 2:26pm, we are accident free. We'll see how the rest of the day goes, but I am feeling a little bit more optimistic.

I feel like I am training for my own Olympic medal.

Day one: not too sure about this!

Since all training is happening in the kitchen, we have spent the majority of our time playing on the floor. Elyn is just happy to have something to destroy.
Nora wanted to get in on the picture action too.
Day two: a little bit more confident.
Cute little panties!
My house is a disaster area, I have not showered today, both of my girls are still in their pajamas, and I have three loads of laundry waiting to be folded. See, I told you diapers were easier!
