- This is what a typical day is for me: Wake up around 8, head to the gym around 9:30, get home around 11, shower, have lunch sometimes with other moms or somedays Mike comes home. Izzy naps and then we usually get together with some other mom/kids in the neighborhood. So there is a pretty good amount of interaction with other people.
- Potty training day: Wake up around 8, follow Izzy around ALL day to make sure she isn't peeing. We don't go outside, we don't go to the gym, and we don't go out with other kids. I couldn't even pay bills or call people because I had to be following her around. It was Miserable!! Maybe I was doing it wrong....
Then last Sunday evening she refused to wear her diaper. So I said she had to use big potty and she did. Monday she refused to wear a diaper and she used the potty all day without one accident. It was a busy week so she was in a diaper a lot while we were out and about, but when we were home I took her diaper off, I did not follow her around (she had to come to me when she needed to go) and there haven't been any accidents. By no means I am saying she is potty trained because she still has to poop in the potty, but I like this a lot more than staying home 24/7. I know at some point we need to stay home for a few consecutive days, but there is a lot going on right now. Maybe in February we will try it again. Sorry no pics! Next time there will be some from our trip to Rhode Island...

when michael was at the inbetween stage 'mostly potty trained, but i was nervous when we left the house", i would put a pull-up on over his underwear (so that he would feel if he wet, but I didn't worry about him making a mess). He's done great so far! (of course there are a few days where he has an accident, but they are getting rarer & rarer.) i think potty training is soo much easier when the kid tells you they are ready, than when the parent tries to force it.
Potty training is sooo frustrating. I did the 3 day stay at home no diapers thing and I remember being 9 months pregnant crying in the closet because i just wanted to be alone...it's sooo tiring following around a child that doesn't want to do what you are asking! And accident after accident. And that's why Brendon was born 4 weeks early - it put me in early labor! lol She is still young - I say if that's working for you...go for it! Anything is better than nothing right?
way to go Izzy!!
