Potty Training Day Two

Well, day two is complete with potty training - yay!

Aubrey is really catching on that I am "following her around" all day and often just says

"play by myself!" - poor girl just wants some alone time and Mommy doesn't let her

without chasing her down. 

Anyway, the early morning started off pretty well shooting about 50 %, but by the late morning

I was ready to scream! At the same time, a salesperson came to our door

and wanted to sell some educational books to me, which I was very interested in.

I warned him that we were potty training, but still came in anyway! In the 15 minutes

while he was here, I set Aubrey on the potty in front of the TV and 

she went in the potty by herself (YAY) so I had to politely

leave the salesman to do our victory routine! 

Poor guy (he was still in college and pretty clueless about this stage of life) :)

THEN two minutes later she started crying and 

she had pooped on the floor - oh goodness!

The guy was still here, so I politely dismissed myself AGAIN 

to deal with the mess. 

I told him that this was probably birth control for him - lol!

Then the next couple hours were ROUGH and I wondered if we were gaining at all!

There were three messes in 20 minutes, and Steve was still gone for the morning - ugh!

FINALLY, once Steve came home, things improved quickly...go figure.

We proceeded through lunch, playtime inside, naptime, playtime outside and

we were ACCIDENT-FREE for SIX HOURS, making it in the potty each time!!!

We were on a roll! 

I found on the key was to suggest that we try to go potty (every hour or so)

and then she would go! 

Then came suppertime and she threw a fit since she wanted to pour her drink and 

I wouldn't let her...needless to say, extreme crying causing one to lose bladder control,

which I knew was going to happen. But with that only mishap,

we were good from noon until eight o clock bedtime - YES!

Our score for today:

10 makes

2 missed poopies

1 naptime dry

1 kinda-made poopies 

5 missed potties
