Vivian has done so well learning to use the bathroom this past week. We stayed home for 4 days and she was doing great by Tuesday. Without too many details to bore you, we stopped using the timer midday Tuesday because she was telling me when she needed to go. She had several accidents on Monday, one on Tuesday, one on Wednesday, zero on Thursday, one on Friday. On Thursday and Friday we ventured out in public and she didn't have any problems. We are so happy for her (and for us!).

She had a poop accident on Tuesday morning. After that, she didn't go for the rest of the week. I was so worried about her. I guess she was holding it, and then it got to the point where it had been so long that she couldn't go. She didn't complain about her stomach hurting until Saturday morning, and I went to get something from Walgreens. After some help, she went within minutes. I put her diaper on so she could feel comfortable and go. But she cried to take it off and ran to the bathroom to get on the toilet. So even though we had some problems getting to that point, at least she didn't revert back to using a diaper.
All in all, it was a lot easier than I was expecting and I'm glad I waited until she was older. I'm sure we'll still have lots of accidents (she had one this morning at church), but she seems to be catching on to it well!
