After six months of putting it off the inevitable, I finally decided to pull the trigger and potty train Maysie. How quickly I forgot how much my world would revolve around how many feet I was away from Maysie and/or the closest bathroom.
Day 1: Catastrophe. I had a feeling it would be so I decided to make it a half day...starting right after Maysie's nap. She woke up, I gave her the pep talk and a thick pair of panties, and she went in the potty. I was excited to say the least. We ventured out to the culdesac....had three accidents in a matter of 45 minutes (2 of them ACCIDENTS if you know what I mean). Needless to say, I needed a pep talk from Ansley and she reminded me that this was normal, so I decided to stick with it for one more day.
Day 2: Amazing! Maysie only had one accident. Could it be?
Day 3: I HATE POTTY TRAINING. About six accidents today. Two of them at a birthday party.
Day 4: Our nanny, Kaly, came over and got everything back on track. Only one accident today (on my watch) I'll take it.
Day 5: On my own again since it is election day. Maysie won't let me out of her sight so I either have to take my potty training child to the polls or accept the fact that I won't be casting a ballot this year. The bad news, no voting for me today.....the good news, only one accident...
Day 6: Kaly came again today...only one accident!
Day 7: Today was Maysie's first day at school without a diaper. No accidents...yay! By the end of the day I was hopeful that we would go the entire day without an accident. At 7:00, only 30 minutes before bedtime, she had an accident. Still happy though:)
For those of you who were able to potty train your kids in three days, wow. But I am pretty darn impressed with my little Maysie and I am so excited that we are coming to the end of the diaper stage!
