Potty Training Blues

I'm not sure what happened to that "gung-ho" attitude I had last night about potty training, but it has already left this morning.

We woke up, like 45 mins ago, and I sat her on the potty and nothing. Her pull-up from last night was pretty full, so I thought she must have already went this morning. I explained that she needs to listen to her body and go tee-tee and poo-poo in her potty today. I let her pick out which princess panties she wanted to wear and she went with Rapunzel. Jase tells me, just put her in a princess pull-up. I explain to him that this is what we did with him and it just takes time.

I go in the laundry room to start a load of laundry and when I walk out I ask her if he needs to potty as she is standing there with her legs squeezed together and tells me yes. I said ok, let's run to the potty. We get in there and take off her panties and they were soaked. :( Here we go I thought. I take the Rapunzel panties off of her and she throws a fit. She wants to wear them. I tell her she will have to pick another pair out and of course there is not another Rapunzel pair in the 7 pack! She is trying to grab the wet panties, so I scoop them up and tell her that I will wash them and go add them to the load I had just started. I clean up the two puddles in the living room and Jase asks what I am doing so I tell him that Ally pottied in her panties. His response "you should have just put a pull-up on her!" Thanks Jase! We go back to the bathroom and I find another big puddle! Allyson Kate!! I mean the potty splashed up against her training potty . . . if you're that close, sit on the potty!! I wipe her down again and she settles on another pair of panties. Her wipes are in a drawer in my nightstand, along with pull-ups and diapers. I am bad, I ask her if he wants to wear a princess pull-up and she says no, a Minnie one. Ok, a Minnie one it is!

I'm not sure if I am up for this!! Hopefully it's because I am almost 32 weeks pregnant and I do not have my get up and go right now. And in the back of my mind I am thinking that I will have another to potty train after her!

She is now watching Elmo Potty Time! We'll see how this goes!

Dear Lord, please give me patience.

PM update:
I did not actively continue with the potty training today.  She was content in her Minnie Mouse pull-ups and so was I.  After she woke up from her long nap, I sat her on the potty with a book and left her there.  She ended up taking a poop!! Two days in a row!! And both times she was reading a book; I think I will install a magazine rack next to her training potty!! When we were getting ready for bed I had her sit on the potty before putting on a fresh Minnie Mouse pull-up, gave her a book and she pottied . . . I see a trend here!! My mom said that when I was little I would sit on the potty and ready forever on there, maybe it runs in the family! Although now, I'm all business in the restroom . . . in and out!! Of course these days I have little ones who are in and out of the restroom while I'm in there.  ;-)  I do not have any preconceived goals for tomorrow, I am playing it by ear and basing it off of my energy level!!
