Potty Training Day #4

Today has been very successful.  She only had one accident and I blame the fact that she just went and I wasn't 100% attentive to her potty signs.

Today she accomplished:
- went longer between needing to pee even with heavy liquids
- held pee long enough to allow me to help her pull down her underwear
- started to figure out the signs of needing to do a BM
- and the biggie, did a BM in the potty!
- dry after waking up from her nap
- kept her undies dry and used the potty even with a guest
- decreased her number of underwear changes, thus being able to control when she pees better

I am still not ready for no diapers during nap, but today she woke up dry ... and she got to the potty when she needed to go.

Today I was really attentive to her body signals.  The first half of the day she would start to pace and ask for a diaper.  Of course I didn't give her a diaper, I told her that she needed to go potty and that she should sit down.  Some times she would listen and sit right down, other times she would continue to pace and then go "Mooommmiiieee" and rush to the potty.  We did get her underwear pulled down almost every time and as soon as she sat a rush of pee (so I know she was really holding it).  And it is so cute, every time she pees she gets so excited, "I peed! I peed!".

For her BM she actually tried to sit down a couple of times.  She told me her bottom hurt and that she needed medicine.  I explain that she needed to go poop and that she needs to sit and relax.  Well she just wasn't up for it.  So I then tell her that I am going upstairs to go to the bathroom and asked if she wanted to come with me.  "Yes!",  she said.  So we are in our master bathroom, just the toilet area with the door closed (a very small space).  And she sits down, then gets back up and wants her panties up, then she is pacing, then she pauses, and that is when I usher her to the potty.  She is sitting and she hears it and goes, "Oh, hear that?".  And then she goes, "Stinky!", followed by, "Oh, I peed!".  Maybe this is TMI (too much information) but it is so cute, even if it does involve bodily fluids and excrement.
