Big Girl Panties!

Last night Anna Grace decided that her baby was ready for big girl panties. After seeing how good she looked in her pink Barbie panties she decided that she might like to wear her blue star big girl panties too. So this morning - I had to hold her off through the night; no need to start potty training at bedtime - after breakfast we put on her big girl panties. So far no accidents; but so far no tee-teeing in the potty either. Something is going to have to give sooner or later. I will update this post throughout the day to keep you posted on our first day of potty training.

She ate a big lunch and drank LOTS of milk. She currently has a fresh class of ice water. She has sat on the potty at least 5 times since we began at 9. So far she has not gone tee-tee in her big girl panties OR in the potty. She must have a bladder of steel. I have also learned that she is very demanding while on the potty. "I need my ice water; I need books; I need my shakers - even on the potty she is cheering in advance for tonight's game - I need some candy - the AFTER potty treat - I need the flashlight," and the list goes on.

Well it happened. The last time we went to the potty, Anna Grace told me that she was not going to tee-tee in the potty and she was not going to tee-tee in her star panties either. She was going to tee-tee on the floor. I knew she had to go because she was dancing all over the place trying not to go. She could not take it any longer; she finally had an accident in her panties. Her main concern was that the next pair of panties we had to wear did not have stars on them.
The current score 1 for the panties 0 for the potty.

Before we could get to the toilet, poop! I think we need to take our potty prizes up a notch if we are going to have any sort of success today. We only have one more clean pair - besides the current pair on her - so she needs to get a little better or I need to go buy some new panties really fast!

Even with all of the drinks and candy still no real potty accents - and no more accidents since the last update. Apparently Anna Grace's resolve to keep her panties clean and not use the potty is great. Needless to say, she was put in a diaper for her nap time. I have no doubt that it will be saturated when she wakes up, but i sure was not going to let her sleep in her panties with a full bladder.

I got Anna Grace up from her nap at 4:30. When I asked if she wanted to take her diaper off to put her big girl panties back on she started crying and said, "No, Mommy, I just want my diaper." I guess this is the end of potty training for one day. Maybe tomorrow I will be a little stronger. Today it was a shutout.
Final Score Panties 2 - Potty 0
