One Long Weekend = One Potty Trained Little Girl

This weekend we began the adventures in potty training. We talked it up pretty good Friday night about wearing big girl underwear, going potty on the potty, and getting money for each success. She was pretty excited about it on Saturday morning and it all began with a bang. Right away she got the hang of it, and between nap and bedtime we only had one accident. Amazing! Today was almost as if we had a child who'd been potty trained for a month! WEIRD! She went to the potty all on her own and I didn't need to set a timer once today. Just amazing. We only had 2 accidents ALL day; once when she couldn't get to the potty quick enough, and the other was barely noticeable.

We are SO proud of our little pumpkin. She's growing up so fast and without a diaper she just looks older! Its like she grew a year older in just 2 days. Sigh...our little girl isn't so little anymore...

Well, tomorrow I plan to stay home with her to make sure she's really trained. I have NO idea what will unfold once we get out into public. You can't carry around a potty, so what do you do when you're in the middle of copps? The playground??? There's so much we have to learn and fast! My prayer is that things continue to go well once Morgan goes back to daycare on Tuesday and that there won't be a total lapse once she's playing with friends and doesn't want to go to the potty. I'm praying this weekend wasn't exhausting for nothing!
