After 5 accidents within the first two hours this morning and being pretty upset about peeing all over herself, Vivian really got the hang of using the potty and has gone 7 times in a row on the toilet...and that's all before naptime! It's amazing how often she's using the bathroom...that's the power of Capri Sun :)
She started out wearing just underwear for the excitement of it but after messing up 3 pair, she went bare bottomed for the rest of the morning.
She got a small digital timer in her stocking on Saturday, and we set it for every 20 minutes. Whenever the timer goes off, she runs to the bathroom very enthusiastically and sits on her Tinker Bell potty seat (sits on top of the regular toilet). She is doing great. I am shocked that it has been so easy. One time she even told me she needed to use the potty before the timer went off...she knows when she has to go! I'm sure we'll have setbacks but at least we're off to a good start.
We are planning on sticking with this for the rest of the week to see where it gets us in the training. I won't bore you with the details everyday, but I might do a post at the end of the week just for my records.
