Potty training 101

Today was our first day of big girl panties. VERY EXCITING! I'll give you the play by play.

8:15am wake up with extremely hearty pee pee diaper, clean up, get dressed, put on big girl panties
9:00am potty check, still dry, but no pee pee on potty
9:20am potty check, still dry, but no pee pee on potty
9:45am pee pee in panties while playing on floor with Ben in the hallway, clean up, change clothes
10:05am potty check, still dry, but no pee pee on potty
10:30am potty check, still dry, but no pee pee on potty
10:55am pee pee in panties while sitting on leather couch reading a book, clean up, change clothes
11:25am potty check, still dry, but no pee pee on potty
11:50am pee pee in panties while playing with Ben on living room floor

At this point she said to me, "Mommy, get diaper on?"
"You know what, Emma, that's a great idea."

We will try again on Saturday (tomorrow we are on the road all day...). One thing I did find was that she doesn't do well with sitting on the little potty - no patience - but when she is on the adapter ring on the adult toilet she is more apt to sit for a longer period of time.

Now that Ben is on the move and can go from his belly to sitting on his own as well as pull himself up onto his knees, I never know what position I will find him - or where for that matter! Today I plopped him in his crib for a nap and later had to sneak into the room to grab fresh clothes for Emma. He was sleeping sitting up, leaning forward on his blanket. Talk about flexible!
