Potty Training - Day 2 - Part 1

Well here we are in the middle of our 2nd day. This morning didn't seem to go as well as yesterday. Addison woke up in one of her defiant moods so getting her to sit on the potty every 10 minutes was just not gonna happen. Today rather than having her go naked we switched to nothing but panties. She is enjoying wearing them and is getting more used to being without a diaper. She's had two accidents so far; one we believe because she really was being defiant and the other because she was having so much fun playing that #2 just came upon her so suddenly she wasn't ready for it. She was in a weird mood this morning and every time Travis would try to take her to the potty she would tell him no or to 'get back'. She just didn't want him to take her or help her. She would let me though. I'm not sure why other than Travis' approach and mine are a little different.

About mid-morning we sensed that she needed a change of scenery with a side of 'fun' so we pulled out one of our card tricks and put up a tent in her playroom. That little idea completely changed her mood and assisted with the rest of our morning. She just LOVED it. She started to do much better and would tell us she needed to go potty.


She was doing so well and we were all in the mood for an outing so we opted for a trip to McDonald's for lunch to get her out and let her play. And we decided this would be good practice for going out in public without a diaper. It was great! She told us twice she needed to go potty. We were so proud of her.

So after lunch we came back home, she went a few more times and then we put her down for a nap - this time in a pull-up. Hopefully this afternoon will go well. We have invited one of her little friends over to play this evening. We thought that would be another good reward for her, plus it will be good to feed her excitement in telling other adults and a friend that she is going pee pee on the potty!
