Potty Tr....Trying

I am really behind in the blogging world. I have yet to post a month 2 update for Brooklyn and she is about to be 3 months old. Not to mention a number of events that I have yet to post pictures for between now and then. We'll just chaulk it up to trying to get enough sleep and having little time to get on the computer without a couple of sweet little distractions. However, I wanted to make a note about today. My little...or actually big...girl is changing by the day. She amazes me with what she can say and do. I bought her some big girl panties a number of weeks ago in anticipation of potty training at some point. I have showed her the panties a few times. She has put them on over her diaper and other times just ignored them. However, today she decided she wanted them on so I thought we might as well try. We have sat her on the potty before baths and other various times over the past number of months with the hopes that she wouldn't be afraid of the big potty. Every once in a while she would go, other times she would not. So after her nap we ditched the diaper and put on Makena's big girl panties. We sat on the potty every few minutes (using a 15 minute timer). After a couple of hours we still had no success. She drank a huge glass of milk as this point so I knew it had to be coming. We sat on the potty again...nothing. However, just a few minutes after I took her off the potty down her legs it came. She wasn't sure what to think. We cleaned up the mess and I asked her if she wanted panties or diaper and she of course insisted on the diaper. I continued to remind her that we were going to have to sit on the potty. After dinner and getting close to bedtime, I told her it was time to go try again and we had SUCCESS! She did both and we danced and sang! I think she thought she was pretty big stuff. We'll see what tomorrow brings. I don't think I am quite ready for hard core but we are going to see how it goes. If she is interested tomorrow, we'll try again. But today was a good day...in 4 or 5 hours we had one accident and 2 successes. Love my girls! I can't believe they are growing up so fast.
