Adventures in Potty Training.

After putting off potty training as long as I absolutely could (my daughter is now 2 1/2), I decided to go ahead and put her in underwear this week. She got up Monday morning and after her daddy fed her breakfast, I got up and changed her out of her last diaper and into "big girl panties". She did remarkably well her first day! Two accidents IN the bathroom (one because I didn't get there in time) and one in the kitchen (after I left for a Bible study and she was home with just Daddy). Tuesday went well too - except for while I was gone to the dentist. She had a couple accidents while my mom was here watching the kids, but after I got home she went in the potty the rest of the day. Wednesday went well although there were a few more accidents than previously. She got up in the morning dry (YAY!) and immediately went to use the potty. She went potty once, then twice, then went to eat breakfast. She went again in her chair, got a clean pair of panties, and then finished eating....only to go again in her chair. She then went back to the potty and went a fifth time that morning. I'm thinking she doesn't know how to empty her bladder, but hopefully this comes with time (does it?). She had a couple more accidents during the day (one while I was at the gym - seems to be a pattern when I'm gone...), but overall has done great! Hopefully she'll catch on a little more so we can once again venture out without having to resort to pullups (which I don't want to do, but might be necessary for a trip to the grocery store). So exciting to be back down to one baby in diapers!!!!
