Number 1

Ellie went number 2 in her potty yesterday. Today, she went number 1, but not number 2. There were struggles, but she was able to pee in her potty a couple of times along with a couple of accidents. Towards the end of the day, it almost seemed like she was "leaking" or just didn't notice that she was wet my shirt, my pants, her blanket, and her underwear.

I think she's yet to learn what it is to "pee". All she knows is that her legs get wet for some reason and she doesn't like it and she doesn't yet know when she's about to pee. I know she able to hold it in and that she can go for at least a couple of hours without peeing, so I will just have to be more observant of her and find ways to support and encourage her the best I can.

Jae and I are so excited to see Ellie grow up, slowly, but surly. We are learning a lot through this process as well....
1. we expect too much
2. we are impatient
3. we get discouraged easily

So throughout all this potty training business, we need to constantly remind ourselves...
1.expect setbacks/accidents
2.be patient...we are working on Ellie's timetable, not our own
3.IT'S ONLY BEEN 2 DAYS!
4. celebrate all of Ellie's achievements
