Success!

Monday morning I decided I would finally take on the daunting task I've been avoiding for months: potty-training Corinne. Every time I would think about doing it I quickly found reasons I couldn't start. Matthew was starting school, I had errands to run all week, people coming in to town to visit, going on vacation, etc. I finally just decided that there was never going to be a perfect time. I took away her pants and her diaper and made her go without bottoms on as much of the day as I could. I did put a diaper on the first few days during naps and bed time. Yesterday she finally went all day without a diaper including naptime and bedtime. Results: one urine accident and one poop accident, but the bed stayed dry. I think she was holding her poop in all week and went once early in the morning before I could take her diaper off and Friday she was pushing it back in when it tried to come out. Yesterday it finally fell to the floor and I made her pick it up (with toiletpaper) and flush it. Today, I found her on the toilet and she told me she was doing stinkies. And she did! Self-initiated poop in the toilet! Hooray! Next task: panties.
