Today, we "re-started" potty training...hoping to get Addison "trained" in time for her first day at daycare. (She will be going to "school" every Monday). Potty training is the most frustrating experience of parenthood (at least for me). We started when Addison was 21.5 months old. It took her about a week to get the hang of it, but then she did awesome...for about a month. At 23 months, she basically gave up and was having accidents all.day.long. Some days, she NEVER even made it to the potty--not even once. So, a few weeks ago, we decided to take a break and put the potty away and let her go back to diapers.
So, we started again tody. I committed to staying home for three days straight...not leaving the house with Addison (I will probably leave tomorrow night when Cody gets home from work, just for my sanity)! Staying home for so many consecutive days is tough for me...I love being a "stay-at-home" mom, but I don't really stay at home much. lol. We usually have some type of activity every day...Kindermusik, the park, shopping, swimming...something! So, staying home for three days is a feat in and of itself. Staying home trying to potty train a stubborn little girl=huge challenge.
Back to my wishlist...my wish for Wednesday is a potty-trained Addison! :) And to come out on the other side without some sort of twitch from the craziness that is potty training!
