Natalie is finally potty training

So I've decided to take the plunge in potty training. We started Sunday evening and it's been going pretty well. Natalie was dry after her nap so I put her on the potty. Surprisingly, she did not throw a fit.

Now for a little history. For awhile a now I know Natalie has been able to control her bladder, etc. Anytime she wets her diaper or poops, she immediately comes and tells me. However, when I mention going on the potty, she adamantly refuses. She says, "I go in my diaper." When I tell her that Shannon goes on the potty, she replies, "Ezra doesn't go on the potty."

So I figured that when I decided to potty train her, I needed to be able to give it my full attention since there would likely be resistance.

But since she didn't resist sitting on the potty on Sunday, I've decided to seize the opportunity. This isn't the best week for it since I work 2 nights this week, but oh well.

Monday afternoon I took her to Target and let her pick out her own potty (the kind that sits on the toilet--I prefer those since they take up less room) and some panties. She picked out Sesame street ones. Monday night I had to work and Dan said she threw a fit when he put a diaper back on her for bedtime.

I imagine she will have to poop today since she didn't yesterday so we'll see how that goes. Yesterday she had only 1 accident and stayed dry during naptime and when we went and ran errands yesterday afternoon. She was wet this morning and yesterday morning. Well, actually, yesterday her diaper was dry in the morning, but she was wet. Since she was throwing a fit Monday night when Dan was putting her diaper on, he didn't get it on all that securely. So, somehow, she managed to soak herself from head to toe, but keep her diaper dry. :-)
