Potty Training: Update

Day 7:  Today Chloe woke up dry at 6:00 a.m. and ran to the bathroom.  She peed on the potty right away.  She was home with me and the new nanny all day, and every time she had to use the bathroom she would say, "I have to go poop!"  I would run her to the bathroom and she would either pee or poop.  She didn't have a single accident all day.  It was amazing.  Now we just have to teach her how to take down her own pants and get on the toilet herself.  I just can't believe she was potty trained in less than a week.  I'm so proud!!

Day 14:  For the past few days Chloe has been making a beeline for the bathroom whenever she senses nature's call.  She doesn't even tell us what she is doing anymore.  It is so crazy to peek in on her and see her propped up on the toilet going all by herself.  The problem now is that we don't always know when she is going, and I fear that it is going to take a while before she masters the art of the wipe.  She only wet the bed once since we started potty training, and that was because she refused to go potty before bed. 

Chloe got to use a public restroom over the weekend.  She thought she was so cool and she wanted to go again once she was finished.  It is a little stressful to bring her out of the house now that she is potty trained.  We were at Hobby Lobby and we asked her maybe four times if she had to go potty, but she kept saying no.  We were in the car for maybe three minutes after we left when she said she had to go potty.  Of course.  We pulled into Home Depot.  When I walked in with her I asked where the bathrooms were located.  The greeter said, "Aaaaall the way down to the end and then aaaaall the way back."  So, pretty much the furthest they could possibly be.  Super convenient.  I ran/walk frantically all the way to the back of the store.  Chloe talked about how she had to go "poop" (pee and poop are both "poop") the whole time.  When we finally go to the toilet she peed for probably 20 seconds.  Phew!!  As Chloe would say, "Yaaaaay Towie!"  She is really an all star. 

Of course, this whole process has not been without its hiccups.  We were letting Chloe choose the big potty or her small potty at first.  That all ended last weekend when Paul decided it would be a good idea to "give her some privacy" while she pooped.  When he walked in he caught her red handed (or should I say brown handed) with a friggen terd in her hand!!  She was taking it from the small potty to put in the big potty.  He brought her upstairs to me where I was taking a shower.  I said, "Please tell me that is chocolate on her fingers!!"  No such luck.  Later that day she peed on the little potty, and before I could even bend down to grab the chair, she had picked up the chair and was attempting to dump the pee in the toilet.  Since she is two, however, she missed completely and slung pee all over the bathroom and all over my legs.  I was SOOOO furious that I grabbed that little toilet and banished it to the back of my car in case of emergencies only.  You served your purpose, little potty, but it is time to move on!
