"Can you guess what we're trying to do today? Little Miss NAPB has been diaper less the whole day (with a few accidents)! Fingers crossed everything will click within the next few days, otherwise, mommy will need to wait a few more months before attempting it again. Too stressful! Lol. At least baby girl had a fun 'breezy' day in! "
Wokay.... So, after months of slacking, I've finally decided to give the 3 Day Potty Training by Lora Jensen a go.
Little Miss NAPB had trouble sleeping yesterday night, not sure if it's because I kept telling her that today she's going to be a big girl and lose the diapers. She stayed up in bed till wee hours of the morning, tossing and turning. Knowing she lacked sleep the night before, I decided to let her have a sleep in today, and whad'ya know, she woke up at whoopin' 11am!
Anyway, we had her go to the toilet upon waking up but nothing came out. So I took away her diapers and said, "finally, big girl now, no more diapers today okay?" While I reminded her every twenty minutes of so to let me know if she needed to go to the toilet, she actually went bum naked for three hours straight without accidents. And then, it all came out in a gush, ON THE FLOOR, NEAR THE CARPET. I immediately scooper her up (while chanting my don't panic mantra) and rush her to the toilet, but by the time we reached the toilet, her "fountain" had already run dry. To top it off, I think I actually scared her a little while running her to the toilet because the moment I sat her down on the toilet bowl, she started crying. So I quickly wiped her and took her out of the toilet while reminding her to tell me the next time she needed to pee. I then began my cinderella chore of wiping the floor dry, and again reminding her to let me know when she needed to go to the toilet.
And then, it happened again... FIVE TIMES, and each time I wasn't fast enough to catch it. Somebody kill me now.
However, if I'm really honest with myself, I wasn't really paying full attention to all her signs. I know I was supposed to stick by her side 24 hours that day, but as soon as I see my laundry pile, I just had to put them in the washer; the moment I see the clock striking 4pm, I had to go prepare a proper dinner; you get the idea. So it's all these "moments" that the accidents happen, and I really don't know how I'm going to be able to pull through these three days without help. The book says by day three, it should "click", so I'm determined to at least finish off the whole three days. Plus, I'm going to try and really focus on her tomorrow, like focus focus. (everyone and anyone who's reading this - don't call me, don't message me, try not to disturb me for the next few days, ok? lol)
And if this three day boot camp doesn't work, I'm going to put this off for another couple of months before attempting to have another go.
So there you go, Potty Training Day 1: mission failed.
Fingers crossed it will work by Day 3! Stay tune for Day 2 tomorrow evening.
