We tried a couple of months ago, and she just wasn't ready. She had too many accidents to count, and I didn't want to get frustrated with her..so we stopped.
So, after seeing lots of friends in "big girl" panties..and talking about it more and more..I thought since Matt is out of town and we don't have many plans this week, I would give it another try.
We went outside yesterday afternoon, and took the potty chair with us. She last 30 min or so with no accidents, but didn't go to the potty either. I was beginning to wonder??
So, we came inside and she went twice in a 4 hour period with no accidents...until right before bath time. She had a small one. But, this is MILES past our previous experience! I was shouting and praising..Jellybeans, stickers, m&ms oh my!! Today, we did have to get out for a couple hours, and I put her in a pullup..But, she has been in "big girl" panties since naptime and has only had one accident.
I also told her if she said dry for several days we could go to the store and pick out some big girl panties.. She said YAY, CARS! lol.. ummmm.. How about Princess or Dora... She said OK! (thank goodness)
It was pretty sunny outside, so we didn't last long.. maybe as it gets cooler we can keep doing this.. Makes for easy clean-up, too!
I'm just so proud of her, and as much as I would love for this to be an overnight thing..like it is for some, it just isn't. It's something that is going to take time, she is going to have accidents, and it may just take a while. I'm ok with her not growing up too quickly, so how ever long it takes.. That's ok by me. :)
