So before I get into day one of potty training Elizabeth, let me just state that she is the most stubborn child I have ever met.
Anyways, we decided to enroll Elizabeth in the school that Amber is going to; she cannot start until August. When they are 3 years old they have to be somewhat if not completely potty trained. The school does make some exceptions and will help out with it a bit. So with that being said, we went and bought a potty seat that is attached to your toilet seat. As of this morning I decided to put panties on her so when she has an “accident” she will feel the wet panties on herself and maybe she wont like it. I did this with Amber and it worked great.
I had sat the girls down to draw self portraits and about 5 minutes later Elizabeth said she had to go potty. When I sat her on the potty she was fine for about 6 or 7 minutes and then she started to get upset. Needless to say she did not go pee in the potty. So I took her off the potty but made her keep her panties on. I put the girls in the living room and put a leapfrog show on the television. It had probably been about 10-15 minutes when I heard Elizabeth start freaking out. I went into the living room to see what was going on and she was grabbing at her private area and screaming that she was wet. I can tell all ready she does not like the feeling of the wet panties; hopefully this will work.
I had Elizabeth go into her bedroom with me to change her panties and clothes. When we got in there I told her that she had to be a big girl now if she wanted to go to school. I explained to her that she had to let me or daddy know when she had to go pee or poo so we could put her on the potty.
Now it is nap time so I have her in a diaper but when she wakes up she has to go back in panties. Let’s hope this works out. Hopefully I have time to update later tonight on how the rest of day went.
