Day 1 We had no pee in the potty until close to 4pm when Aubree walked up and said "pee pee" and pointed to the little potty. She sat down and had a little dribble of pee. It was great! She then wanted to sit on the big potty every 5 minutes after that but most of her pee ended up on the kitchen floor. Bed time could not come soon enough. Ha ha
Day 2 (Nov. 12th) has been a little better. She is recognizing that she is starting to pee and we even made it to the potty a couple times. She cries every time I put her on the potty today. I decided to give her 2 smarties each time she pees since my cheers don't seem to be much motivation. Ha ha. Hopefully this afternoon will be better and have less crying.
Day 3 (Nov. 13th) has been a good day. Aubree is beginning to recognize when she has to pee and is some times telling me. She gets really excited about peeing in the potty and the big reward is wiping, flushing, and washing her hands. Ha ha. Our break through moment was late this afternoon when she had a dribble of pee on the kitchen floor and I took her to potty. She dribbled a little more and then I asked if she could pee more. She said yes and then actually peed a good amount. I could see her belly contracting for the first time and her excitement was priceless. It was a great moment and has made the process worth it. We are getting there! What a great payoff. Oh, and she hates the little potty and refuses to use it. Awesome. Now I need a new plan for emergency bathroom breaks when in the car.
Day 4 (Nov. 14th) Another great day! We dropped Brigham off at Joy School and then went grocery shopping. This was our first outing other than dropping off and picking up Brigham from school this week. There were no accidents today and Aubree loves peeing in the potty. She is pooping during her nap each day so we haven't had to deal with that part of potty training yet. She is getting better at self initiating. She will hold her shirt up and walk to the bathroom when she has to go. She doesn't do this every time but she did it a couple times. This is awesome since it Norma,ky takes 2-3 weeks for kids to do this.
Day 5 (Nov. 15th) Today we went to visit Boppy and Gabby. Aubree did great and she told me when she needed to potty. I am just so proud of her. It is crazy to see this tiny little person doing so well at this.
Day 6 (Nov. 16th) Aubree and Brigham spent the morning with Scarlett and Carolina while I got my hair done and Mark had a meeting at school. Aubree held her pee for over 3 hours until I got back there. We were home the rest of the day and she continues to do great.
Day 7 (Nov. 17th) Today was rough but it was because of errors on my part. I forgot to put a diaper on her for her nap and she woke up soaking wet. She had a little leaking at church but nothing terrible. She made it through nursery with no potty breaks or accidents. She had an accident on the way home. She let me know she needed to potty shortly after we got home and she pooped in the potty! It was a great moment. It was our first non-nap time poop all week. Mark laid her down for a short nap before family dinner without a diaper and she soaked her bed, bumper pad, and the floor. She was so upset and I felt so bad for her. At family dinner she told me she needed to potty so that was a win to end the day on.
I am just so proud of our little Aubree. She has made such great progress and she is doing so awesome. I am so happy to have her potty trained and I hope I don't have to night time train her. Ha ha
