Potty Training Attempt #1 Update

I tried to post this yesterday but for some reason it wouldn't post so here goes again.

The potty training attempt #1 is over for now. She was in panties for half of Wed and all day Thurs and after several accidents and no pee-pee or poo-poo on the actual potty I have decided to try again in a couple weeks. It wasn't all for naught thought as I learned 3 important things to help me at attempt #2.

Lesson Learned #1--She is physically able to control her bladder. She went over 4 hours without an accident and that was even through her nap time.

Lesson Learned #2--Its not upsetting to her to have an accident. She says, "uh-oh. I wet. Change me." She just figured it was no big deal because I would change her immediately. Knowing that I made her wait to be changed after her first accident. (gross I know) But that led to...

Lesson Learned #3--She doesn't like it when I don't change her right away. This will definitely be helpful in my next attempt. Not that I'm gonna let her run around with pee pants on but even just 2 or 3 minutes of being wet will hopefully be motivation enough to not wet her pants.

So we'll try again in a few weeks. I think she still just needs to figure out what it feels like to actually go potty as I think that's what she couldn't quite get yet in this first attempt! In the meantime I'll still put her on the potty to try and I may even get her a little potty so she doesn't have to on the big toilet every time. I've never really used those in the past but for her I think it might work a little better. Its funny how every child is different!!!!
