I set the timer every 20 minutes and went it went off I told her we needed to go sit on the potty. I had her drinking tons and tons of water and juice so she would need to go a lot yesterday. Every time she sat on the potty from the time she woke up she wouldn't go she would just hold it. And I knew she needed to go she just wouldn't. One of the times we went into the bathroom she said, "No I don't want to." I asked her why and her response was, "I don't understand." ha ha ha it was so cute. Another time when I told her we needed to go sit on the potty she rolled over and said, "Leave me alone." Little smarty pants.
She was done playing and wanted to watch Tangled (her current OBSESSION). I put her on the (leather) couch with a blanket under her. A little while into the movie she wanted a snack so she came in the kitchen and finally had an accident (on the tile thank goodness). As soon as she started peeing she said, "I pee Mommy!" I quickly ran her to the bathroom and she finished on the potty so she got her sticker and 2 gummy bears. I didn't bribe her with candy and stickers, but told her if she went on the potty she got a sticker on her sticker chart and 2 gummy bears if she peed and 4 gummy bears if she pooped. And I told her when she filled all the boxes on the chart we would go to the store and pick out any toy she wanted. It worked very well.
She had another accident when she came upstairs to get me while I was doing laundry and it wasn't too much longer after her first one. She was standing on the carpet but thankfully it was only a little bit so it didn't get on the carpet at all and she was right by the bathroom so I picked her up really quickly and got her in the bathroom. And those 2 were the only accidents she had all day. After that she told me every single time she needed to go poop or pee and she went all by herself! I am one VERY PROUD MOMMY today!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She even wore her underwear to bed and stayed dry all night long and today she is doing even better and wants to do everything herself. Pull her pants down, climb on the stool up to the toilet, wipe, flush, and wash her hands. She has this thing down pretty dang good and I am so happy for her! She thinks she is so big and gets so excited every time she goes now. I was stressing a little bit thinking I was putting it off and waiting too long to potty train her but I am so glad I did it when SHE was fully ready. It was a piece of cake and I am so proud of her!!! YAY RYLEE!! Such a big girl!
