Potty training: Day 2

Well here we go with day 2 of potty training. Before we left her bedroom this morning, I took off her pull-up and told her that we were going to use the potty again today. She was so excited she immediately headed toward the door. Once downstairs she went straight to her potty and sat down. It was only for a second but she was so excited about it. We ate our breakfast and went back to playing with the toys that she was so excited about yesterday. While playing, she would suddenly stop and say "potty". She would hurriedly sit on her potty but for no more than a few seconds. She did several times over the course of five or so minutes. Then all of a sudden she sat there and pooped. I was so excited! We celebrated and did our bathroom routine of flushing and washing our hands. She was so excited. 

After returning from the bathroom, she started playing with her toys, but, once again, she wanted to just sit on her potty to play. We started watching Jake again to get her off the potty. About an hour into it, she coughed and peed a little on herself. She immediately started crying and ran to her potty. It was so sad how worked up she got about her accident. It took me a few minutes to calm her down. She didn't have any more accidents inside after that though. 

The rest of our day was fairly uneventful as far as the potty training goes. She would randomly say "potty" then jump on it. Sometimes she would immediately jump back off and other times she would actually go. I mostly just let her do her own thing. After nap I tried to get her to put her new Minnie Mouse panties on, but she wouldn't have it. I laid them out for her to look at. Randomly she would pick a pair up and I'd think that she'd be ready to put them on, but she mostly just used it like a piece of toilet paper to wipe. Haha! We'll try them again tomorrow I guess. 

For dinner we had some friends stop by to grill out and give me a little bit of the socialization that I've missed out on being stuck in the house for 2 days. Caroline wanted to go outside with everyone so I convinced her to put her shorts on to go outside. I'm not sure whether she had an accident while we were outside or not. She ended up dumping some water on her so it was hard to tell whether she was wet from pee or water. We're going to try going outside again tomorrow so I'll try to watch better and keep her away from water so it will be easy to tell. As long as we stay in the living room we should be good to go though. Haha! 

This was the only picture I took of her today. She was excited to play with her playdoh and cookie cutters once again. 


This is a picture of the tower that she built. I love that my daughter builds symmetrically.
