…it more like day 1. Eesh! That’s right, today I caved on my no TV watching and busted out the Caliou on PBS. You see, we have some BIG changes happening in our house. My girl is potty training!! On Monday I decided it was time to really start working on this. She has shown that she is ready and flirted with the idea many times so I declared it “potty training boot camp week” so to speak. In other words, we have stayed home mostly, I’ve kept her in underwear or bare when she isn’t sleeping or out of the house, and then I just encourage her to sit on the potty several times a day. The first day we had 4 accidents but also 2 successes. Yesterday we had major meltdowns regarding the toilet and I thought she might be heading towards a major regression but today she turned it around with no accidents and she has been requesting to use the potty on her own!
The oddest emotion came across me this morning. I was sitting on the couch nursing my 3 month old son watching my daughter run around the house in big-girl undies and realized we are basically done with diapers for her. From here on out it’s just training pants, underwear, etc.. Just a week ago I was changing her diaper still wondering if this day would ever come and dreading it wouldn’t (LOL), and now a part of me is sad! My BABY is growing up!!
As to why this had to wreck my 30 day (no TV) challenge? I did the “bad mommy” thing and bribed her with a show to get her to sit on the potty when it was obvious she needed to go and she was avoiding going because she was too wrapped up in what she was doing. I was also very sleep deprived from 2 back-to-back rough nights. Levi is nursing a lot more right now and I suspect we are on the verge of teething. It seems entirely too soon for this but he’s showing all the signs of a teether. Ugh…my kiddos are all growing up on me!
So, tomorrow we start anew with no TV. Perhaps a 7-day challenge is in order and we go from there
