Potty Training Update After a Week

Here is an update a week after we have started Potty Training:

Emma Claire has done amazing!!! Once again for school on Tuesday and Thursday I packed lots of panties, socks, pants, shoes, ziplock bags, and a towel.

On Tuesday, she told her teachers several times that she needed to go potty. Once, she was in the gym playing and ran to her teacher with her potty insert (to go on the big potties) and told her she needed to go potty. Yea, for Emma Claire stopping playing with her friends to go potty!!! She even went poo-poo at school that day. Only once she had a slight accident but I really don't call it one. She went to tell her teacher she needed to go potty but she was changing a diaper. When she was able to get Emma Claire to the potty she had leaked a little bit in her panties and they had to change them. She was doing her best to hold it! Yea, for Tuesday at school!!!

On Thursday, she did great once again. She told her teachers several times she had to go, but once she had a little bit of poo-poo already in her panties. She did finish in the potty though, so yea for Thursday!!!

On Friday, she did have a funny at school. We had practiced that morning calling our teachers if we needed to go poo-poo so that we would have any accidents in our panties. So, while at school she told her teachers she needed to go potty!! They took her in restroom and sat her on the potty to do her business. While she was going they walked off to tend to the other children. Once they heard Emma Claire call that she was all done they went in to help her finish up. Her teacher, Mrs. Haley, said she had gone # 2 in the potty she she was so excited and telling her how good she had done! Yea, Emma Claire. BUT, then she slipped on something. There was # 2 in the floor! They have no idea how it had gotten there because they weren't in the restroom with her. They don't know if she had gotten up to soon or what, but Mrs. Haley said her shoe didn't like it very much! It was so funny to hear Mrs. Haley tell me her story. It is not something I would normally put on her website but I wanted to remember to tell Emma Claire this story when she was older about her first week of being potty trained. I say, Emma Claire gets a high five for Friday too!!! Who knows how the accident happened but she was in the restroom using the potty!! I am so proud of her.

I think Emma Claire has had a wonderful week of potty training! She did great at school, great at home, great at church, and woke-up from all naps and bedtime dry! She is growing up way too fast but now we are ready to diaper # 2. ; )
