Potty Training Day 1 - Olivia 8:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.

Sully's potty training was unsuccessful for night time.  Angie threw in the towel and put him back in diapers for the night.  However, he is day and nap time trained.  This is not going to discourage me from training Olivia.

This morning Cullen, Avery, Addison and Sully woke up at 3:30 a.m. for a surprise trip to DISNEY WORLD!  My parents, Dave and Angie are all going to Florida for one week.  So this gives me plenty of time to train Olivia.  I am trying the 3 day potty training from http://www.3daypottytraining.com/.

I have all my tools to successfully train Olivia by Sunday or Monday.....only time will tell. =)

Lots of big girl underwear!

Big girl wipes

M&M's and other rewards that are not pictured yet. =)

Potty Chair and my trainee...Olivia!  She is in her 1st pair of big girl underwear for the day!

 My day started at 7:30 a.m.  I showered and got ready for the day.  Olivia woke around 8:30 a.m.

I put the first pair of underwear on and told her she was a big girl now.  I introduced her to the potty chair and told her where the pee and poop were suppose to go.  She acted very excited and happy to be a big girl now.

8:50 a.m. Olivia said she had to go potty.  She sat on the potty and....nothing!

8:55 a.m. This program calls for lots of different liquids for more potty opportunities.  I chose chocolate milk this morning.  Olivia is only allowed chocolate milk on weekend mornings as a treat but I want her to drink more so this was the drink of choice. Sure enough as soon as I gave it to Olivia it was gone in minutes.

9:00 a.m. Breakfast time!  Bananas, blueberries and cheerios.

9:04 a.m. Olivia said she had to potty.  She sat on the potty and .... nothing!  We went back to finish breakfast.

9:40 a.m. I could tell she was doing a pee pee dance and noticed her underwear had a little wet spot so I sat her on the potty and....nothing!

So excited to go potty...but NOTHING came out!

NEW UNDERWEAR #2

9:50 a.m. Olivia's underwear was wet.  I rushed her off to the potty chair, she sat on the potty and she didn't even want to sit on the potty chair.

NEW UNDERWEAR #3

I gave her some more orange juice so she has more opportunities to use the potty chair.

10:46 a.m. Olivia wet her pants so I rushed her off to the potty and she got a couple of drops (literally 2 drops) of pee in the potty.  I made a huge deal of it and gave her a M&M for her reward.

NEWUNDERWEAR #4

11:07 a.m. Wet her pants, put her on the potty and....NOTHING!

NEW UNDERWEAR #5

I am starting to have my doubts at this point because Olivia still has to pee and/or poop on the potty and she has not done it yet.

12:00 p.m. LUNCH TIME - Olivia had her choice from Milk, Water and Orange juice to drink.  She had a Turkey and swiss sandwich on whole wheat bread, strawberries, blueberries and baked BBQ chips.

12:10 p.m. Olivia said she had to go potty.  She sat on the potty and.....big shocker here....NOTHING!
One minute later after she is off the potty and her underwear is on she starts peeing.  I put her back on the potty and only 2 drops made it in the potty chair.

New Underwear #6

1:10 p.m. I noticed a wet spot on her underwear so I rushed her to the bathroom to put her on the potty and.....NOTHING!

She was upset this time when I put her on the potty.  So I took her off....one of the rules of this
program is not to upset your child. You must always be happy and upbeat about this process.

NEW UNDERWEAR #7

1:19 p.m. Peed her pants again but this time she went running to the potty on her own.  Once again she sat on the potty and a couple of drops made it in the potty chair.  So I gave her a M&M.

She needs to keep her mouth closed when she chews!  =)

NEW UNDERWEAR #8  She is getting cranky which leads me to believe it is nap time!

1:30 p.m. - NAP TIME!

Olivia in her new "big girl bed" with her "big girl underwear"

I don't understand how she is going to be potty trained in 2 1/2 days if she hasn't even sat on the potty before she pees in her underwear.  I am going to keep doing this program to see if it works itself out...I am doubtful but I am still optimistic.
