potty training

is a little frustrating right now. I put real undies on Brynn this morning to test out her ability to pee in the potty (or not..) This was the first time we have tried real undies and plastic pants. Two times she peed in her undies and it didn't seem to bother her one bit. Maybe I should have let her sit in a little while longer to let it bother her. We were taking her to the potty every 20-30 minutes since the underwear was put on...but, we would just miss it and she would potty in her pants. I know she's ready b/c she'll tell me she poops or pees in her diaper and tells me, "Mommy, poopy, change diaper!" Parker is here and giving her lots of moral support--he's a good cousin. He follows her into the potty every time she goes in tehre, but, it doesn't seem to help yet. He told her "be a big girl, Brynna and go potty...haha" If only it were that easy, Parker! The funny part is, he wasn't trained until he was about 3. It took him almost a year to get trained.

Don't get frustrated, it is a learned process. It will take her a little bit to understand the sensation of having to pee and recognizing that she needs to go to the potty. There will be lots of accidents from here to there. Don't worry, she'll get it!

She'll catch on. Logan had 9 accidents on day one, but every day after that was much better. It really only took about 5 days of absolutely no diaper for him to get it. Quinn was quicker than that. He only had one accident ever!
