Potty Training, Day Two

Last night I slept horribly. All I could think about was Laney sleeping in urine-saturated pj's for hours. I dug through the storage boxes and found Laney's baby monitor. I plugged that in before I went to bed, so I could hear her if she stirred. I would then take her to the potty to go. I can't TELL you how many times I woke up, tossing and turning. I heard every noise and apparently, Laney talks in her sleep. She said, "No! No!" a lot throughout the night. I'd quickly make my way to her room, tripping over pillows and toys in the dark. Boy did that bring back memories of year one. :) Surprisingly enough, every time I went in to check on Laney, she was dry as a bone!!! I always left her room in amazement. At 5:30 she was saying "No! No!" so I again made my way to her room. I took her to the potty this time and to no avail. She kept saying "Pee-Pee" and crying (from sheer exhaustion)...(me too..LOL)...but not a drop. So, we snuggled a bit in our bed and again to no avail. After a few fingers in my mouth and little fingers tapping on my front teeth, I knew we were up for the morning. Boy was I exhausted.

As Daddy fixed breakfast, and I tinkered with picking up, all the while keeping one eyeball on Laney, I heard her say, "I pee-pee!" I dropped everything, scooped her up, ran to the bathroom saying "Yeah Laney! Yeah Laney!" After sitting on the potty for a few seconds, while I threw the soiled panties in the tub area and ran some warm water for her wash cloth, all of a sudden I noticed a "surprised" expression on her face. I was hoping it was that she was going in the potty. When she stood up, I saw a VERY full potty!!!!!!!!!!!!! You just don't hear the tinkle fall when she's sitting on a little potty, like you do when tinkle falls into water on the big potty. She stood up, looked in the potty and said with a HUGE smile on her face, "I pee-pee!!!!!!!! I pee-pee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She was very excited and proud of herself. We were too!

Well, that's where we are now, so I'll have to save room for more potty stories throughout the day. I think day two is going to be a blast and full of potty victories!!! Let's hope we tackle going number two today!
