{Im}perfectly Mommy...: P is for Progress

Since we began potty training the letter P has been associated with such things as poop, pee, pampers, panties, pull ups, "painfully" exhausting and "painfully" frustrating. Today, I am happy to report a new word associated with the letter p. That word is PROGRESS.

Olivia has alerted me when she had the urge to go pee this whole week. It hasn't been without accidents but it seems as though this whole potty concept may be setting in. Maybe this is her cue that she is ready to wear her big girl panties--well, it's worth a try, right?

Operation P is officially underway. Olivia spent the day in her big girl panties. We did our "run, RuN, RUN" to the bathroom and washed our hands 22 times, peed 9 times, pooped once high fived 10 times and had 1 "wonk, wonk" accident. Let me just say I'm eXhAuSteD. My bum has probably made full contact with the sofa twice but if it gets her potty trained quicker, it's well worth it.

After so many "run, RuN, RUN[s]" I had a little break when she took a 3 hour nap. I probably should have left her big girl panties on but she woke up dry at least. I prompted her to go potty and she ran out her bed straight to the bathroom.

It's pretty late. This blog post is taking me forever to write as the potty runs do not consist of large breaks in between. I'm pooped and mentally and physically but I'm trying to focus on the goal. I received an added incentive when I did a diaper run during her nap and found out Pampers had increased by $4. *sigh* $24 for pampers?...hopefully this would be my last box, fingers crossed. For now, the pampers are going on and my litttle trainee and I are going to get ready for bed.
