We started to potty train Claire on this past Wednesday afternoon. We were given a book on how to potty train in 3 days and were told by a few people that this works. So, we got all excited and pumped up for this "3 day" adventure. Jeff went to the store to pick up some little toys and candy for rewards, I got on the computer and printed out a potty chart for Claire to place stickers on, and we got a selection of books placed in her bathroom to read. We even got her some Dora hand soap to use. Here we go....the first day we had 4 accidents but went on the potty 2 times! Not to bad I am thinking. The second day we had 2 accidents but went on the potty 3 times and even went #2 so I was pretty proud. The third day we stayed dry all day long so I was thinking, ok so maybe this book has some clout. Well, we had 2 accidents in a row that evening. Ugh...Jeff was home with her for day 3 and 4 and on day 4 Claire had no accidents all day or evening!!!! Thankfully she has woken up every day dry so no bed changes yet. We will see how today goes. The only difficult part now is that Claire does not tell us when she has to go, she still tries to hide to go #2 instead of letting us know she has to go. We will keep working and stay strong. Claire has been in big girl panties now since Wednesday afternoon and we are NOT going back to diapers! She is such a smart girl and she will get this! We are very proud of Claire for doing such a great job so far.
