Well, we had two accidents in the first two hours. The second one was hilarious. We were in the kitchen getting more water and she peed on the floor. Then she started to freak out and slipped in the puddle. I wanted to laugh but I just played it off and we ran to the potty. Then the cues started coming. She would start to pee a little and then grab herself. The first time she did it, I ran her to the potty and she sat there but didn't pee. She stood up and started peeing next to her potty so I quickly sat her on the potty and that's where the trouble started.
She FLIPPED out!!!
She started to cry, but I held her on the potty while she was still peeing and I cheered her on and celebrated her doing it. After she was finished she just sat there. I handed her toilet paper because she likes to wipe herself and isn't bad at it, and then I gave her a small baggy of M&M's and then the incident was forgotten. We dumped her pee in the potty and she flushed the toilet and said bye bye pee pee!!
We had an exact same incident a little while later with her peeing a little, us running to the potty, her crying about peeing in the potty, and this time M&M's weren't enough, so I treated her with fruit snacks.
Then came nap time. The program suggests NOT putting them in a diaper or pull up, but baby ducklings crib is not yet a toddler bed so there is no way she could get up and go. So I decided to put her in a cloth diaper. This way she'd still feel the wetness but it wouldn't be such a big mess.
After her nap I felt like we made a big step forward. We sat on the potty and then put undies on. I was putting pizza on a plate for us when she ran to the bathroom and I heard her potty move. I ran in there and her undies were damp but not soaked so we sat on the potty for about 10 minutes and nothing... So before our dinner got cold we put new undies on... And she peed within a few minutes. I was just proud she ran to the bathroom on her own. It was a good sign. Then after we ate we sat down and watched Barney and she dampened again so we ran to the potty and again with the crying and trying to stand up while peeing and this time fruit snacks nor M&M's worked... But she finished and we did the flushing routine and she got some fruit snacks and 3 M&M's and all was calm. We went back to watch Barney and she was playing in her toy area and I was watching her. She ran over by me and grunted and I scooped her up and ran to the bathroom, but we were too late. She was crying and I was trying to reassure her but she didn't want me to take her undies off and she got poop all over her legs because of it but I finally got them off and wiped her down. I then put her poop in her potty and explained that's where poop goes. Then I put it in the toilet and we flushed it. I cleaned out her potty and then stuck her in the bath. After bath time she had one more accident and no more peeing in the potty. She's CD'd and in bed.
I have all her soiled undies in the wash now, which I need to go put in the dryer. So for the first day it wasn't too bad!! I'm really hoping the next two days go well and she keeps getting better at it!!
I have some kind of stomach bug and it made the day more interesting and my mom didn't get here until noon to pick the boys up, but it wasn't a bad experience at all. Wish us luck for the next two days!
