The 'P' word

Well I started potty training K today. I bought a pack of pull-ups at Wal-Mart today---man are they expensive! When we got home I put one on her and kinda explained what it was for and what we were going to do. I then set the timer for 15 minutes and when it went off, I took her potty. She had already peed in it. So much for that. Since it wasn't that wet, I put it back on her and set the timer again for 20 minutes. Sure enough she had peed in it again. By that time it was lunch, so we took a break. After lunch, I put a new one on her and for a little over an hour, every 5 minutes I took her potty. Seriously, every 5 minutes. She never went! By then it was nap time.

Once Daddy got home, I changed her out of her diaper and put another pull-up on. She never went before dinner, so after dinner we started trying again. Daddy took her and guess what? She went! Yeah! A few minutes later, she started running for the bathroom saying "Potty again, Daddy." Sure enough she went again. And she had actually told us before she went and actually went. By the time she went to bed, she had peed in the potty 5 times and pooped twice! A few of the times, she said she had to go, we went in and she actually went. I am excited!

We are going to go at it strong this week. I have no where to go except church Wednesday night. Wouldn't it be nice if I only had to buy this one pack of pull-ups? I would love it! I think once she gets it, she's gonna have it for good. That's just her. I'll keep you posted.
