Day 1 of "Serious" Potty Training!

Today we started Day 1 of the "3 Day Potty Training". Last week, I did a little research on the best methods to use for potty training because after 6 months of dragging it out, I'm ready to be done with the "training". I'm tired of using pull-ups, diapers, and panties. Poor kid, she must be confused! I blame myself for the drawn out process because I really haven't been adamant about it. Well..3daypottingtraining.com has put us in gear. After Day 1, I am truly exhausted. I think I will be saying "Tell me when you have to go potty.", in my sleep. The program guarantees me that she will be trained by Sunday. We'll see! It's intense..that sounds so silly to write, a potty training program is intense! Well, it is. I have to be by Baker's side all day telling her to tell me when she has to go potty. I'm not suppose to ask her because she has to learn her own body signals. Today I woke up equipped and ready for success. I have the stickers, prizes, charts, you name it..I have it. We'll see what Sunday brings! We started the morning by bagging up all her pull-ups and diapers. She was excited that we were giving them to the babies! She's obsessed with babies! During the 3 days we stay at home and she is only to wear panties and a t-shirt. The t-shirt "rule" is about to kill her because she loves to wear her girlie outfits.

Since Baker decided it would be wonderful to start her day at 5:45 a.m., we were painting by 7:45.

It's fun to observe how much more involved she is in task. We actually played 1 game of dominoes.

Since we're trapped inside for the next few days, Emma came over for a visit. Yes!! They were acting like babies. Too silly! Check out Baker' pants. When Emma walked in the house wearing a cute outfit, it killed Baker that she was running around in a t-shirt, so off she went digging through her clothes. I said, "You may wear pants since we have company". Now that I type that, it sounds a bit trashy.

Last week we surprised Baker with a "big girl bed". She calls it her "princess bed". She loves it and actually sleeps in it. I'm just hoping that tomorrow morning I don't have to wash the entire bed set! I'll keep you posted! We only had 2 accidents today.

I keep telling myself, surely if I can teach kids to read then surely I can potty train my own child!
