How I wish I could be telling you all that I have a fully potty trained daughter, but unfortunately that's not the case and the 3 day potty training did not work for us. Let me recap how the last 2 days have been.
Monday~ Never went on the potty once. Peed I couldn't even tell you how many times on my carpet. She got better at letting me know she had to go to the bathroom. We'd run in there get her on the potty and she'd want down a few minutes later without going. Then a little while later (usually while feeding the baby) she'd pee on the floor. After dinner I was getting a bath ready for Ian and Livi came running in saying she had to go but I couldn't much get her on the potty since I was in the process of getting Ian out of the tub so she peed right outside the bathroom door.
Today was much like yesterday. I was so thankful to go to work today so I could get a break from all this potty training. I decided to take Ian with me in hopes if he was gone Matt could focus only on Livi and maybe the potty concept would click. While I was done she peed in her panties then pooed as well. Guess she was trying to hide the fact she was pooping kept telling Matt to look at the TV and not her silly girl. I get home and she's saying she needs to potty we go in the bathroom and like always she doesn't go. So I get Ian a bottle sit down to feed him and she tells me 'Mommy it's coming, come on' so I put the baby down real quick then follow her in she's standing on the bathroom rug peeing I told her to get on the potty and she tried to bolt from the bathroom mid-stream and slipped in a puddle of pee landed flat on her butt. After making sure she's ok I was rolling it was seriously the funniest thing I've seen in I couldn't tell you how long. By the end of this potty training I think I could write a book on the crazy things Livi did. Atleast she made it into the bathroom and missed my carpet this time.
I'd have to say I think the 3 day potty training would work if I didn't have the baby to look after as well as Livi. With Matt being sick I had to do it all and also if we started a few months ago it might have been easier. I read kids at 2 1/2 are stubborn and set in there way and are very hard to potty train. That I would have to agree with. So we're going to stick it out maybe with in the next week it will finally click. I will continue to keep her in pull ups during bedtime/nap time and if we go out in public until I know she can be accident free. Everyone is telling me boys are harder to train and I'm definitely not looking forward to that if it's true.
