Adventures of Potty Training - Day 1

I have been waiting for this day for sometime now. For the past month or so Millie has gotten up in the morning with a dry diaper. I knew that I had to wait for school to be out to potty train because there was no way I could do it while Millie was at CMO. So today as soon as I heard Millie I was in to get her. What did I discover......a soaking wet diaper. Well this should have been my warning sign but I pressed on. At first Millie enjoyed our trips to the potty she didn't actually go, but had fun with me reading books and singing songs to her. Then after about the 10th time she was pretty tired of it sitting up there and would cry and insist she have her "Kye" aka blanket. Then there is the whole underwear episode.....watch video below.

As you can see Millie was not very excited about the new undies. This ended with Millie laying on the floor crying "I wan diapers, I wan diapers" over and over again. I just ignored her...eventually she stopped and went and rode her bike.

We woke up at 7am and at 11 am Millie still had not gone to the bathroom. Now we had sat there plenty of times for her to go. I was in my room picking up when she came to me and just stood there with a sheepish look on her face...I knew. So we had this long discussion (well I did all the talking) about how that was yucky and big girls don't potty in their pants. Pair number 2 of training undies. At noon we sat on the toilet...no potty. Millie took her nap woke up at 1:50 dry. I sat her up there and at 2:00 still no potty. I let her down with strict instructions not to pee in her underwear and off she went to play. At 2:05 here she came......wet undies and all. Another discussion about big girls and how yucky dirty underwear are. We have to go get Levi so I put on her first pair of pull-ups. (By the way I am not a fan of them, but I didn't want to have to deal with pee everywhere in the car) Millie was happy that she had a diaper. At 9:00 pm Millie was still dry and still had not went potty (Maybe she went in the bathtub...who knows) It is Wednesday and we had church tonight and I took her three times while at church and no potty there either. We come home and I sit Millie on the toilet wanting her to go before she goes to bed, not one minute up there and what do we have............YES MILLIE POTTIED ON THE BIG GIRL SEAT!!!!!!!! It was a whole family celebration including dancing, singing, clapping, and of course M&Ms.

Tomorrow is a new day.
