I think we have SUCCESS

So it's been almost a week since Em decided she was ready to go on the potty. I had given up the trying and had decided to just wait it out when out of nowhere last Sunday morning she says, "Mommy, I want to go on the potty." I figured why not? It will give us a reason to stay home. I was not expecting her to do so well. She went the 1st time she asked. I then started asking her every 25-30 minutes to try. 10 minutes after the second time she went, she had an accident, but that was the only one! After about 2 hours I stopped asking her if she needed to go because she would just let me know it was time.

She did so well this week! No accidents! That is except for #2. Monday John called me on my way home from work saying that Em went in her underwear. I can't believe how calm he was about it. I honestly expected to come home to a mess to clean up but it had already been taken care of! I mean completely cleaned up. Oh, how I love him :) Anyway, we ended up having another one of those 2 days later. Then on Friday she told me before she went and actually did so on the toilet!

So we're going strong, both at home and the sitter's. I'm hoping for the best that it will keep up!

How Awesome! I am on day 17 with only two successful times on the potty. This is rough! That is so awesome that she just took interest in it and has been doing so well!
