Potty training

They're not lying when they say the second day is hard.  I hope they're not lying when they say that the third day is easier.

We started yesterday.  We are kind of/mostly/sort of following the potty-training in a day method.  Mostly because we are not buying Pull-Ups.  Period.  I just don't want to pay for them.  Period.  Plus, Eliza has been dry at night for weeks and weeks now.  (Not that I would be remotely surprised by an accident tomorrow morning, after a day like today....)

Yesterday was smooth sailing.  Last night, I knew today was coming.  I think that helped.  Even when she had an accident on the couch minutes before I was supposed to leave for the Forum at church.  When she laughed when we went back and forth, telling her she needed to potty on the toilet, not the floor/couch/in her pants...  Even when she cried and cried and cried because she was standing in a puddle of her own making in the middle of the living room.  It was a rough day for her, too.  And knowing it was going to be a rough day helped me to keep up my attitude, though I was tired and trying  very hard not to be discouraged or frustrated or ...whatever.

Potty-training Day 3 tomorrow.  We'll see how this goes.  Really, this is more like toilet-training in a week.  Let's hope not two.
