Potty Training Accident Tally

Bailey started a new class last Monday (8/25) and the teachers felt she was ready to use the potty like a big girl and wear panties. I'm not sure Bailey initially felt the same but she's coming around. The first week she cried every time she had to sit on the potty or wear panties. She even went so far as to say she didn't like Primrose anymore - which I knew was not true.

Soon enough, she was rushing out from the bathroom proudly yelling that she had used the potty. I have promised her a trip to the beach if she has no more accidents. (FYI - The beach really means to see Aunt Kathy and Kyle down in Corpus Christi with a brief outing to the beach.)

So....I've decided to keep an accident tally. Every day I will update this entry with the number of accidents she had that day. I'm doing it more for me than anything. This way I can tell when she has been consistent in not having accidents. Then....it's time for the beach! Keep your fingers crossed and I'll keep you posted. In all honesty, it really hasn't been as bad as I had anticipated. It's not fun but she's catching on pretty quick. Check back for the latest.

Update on 9/18/08: I am discontinuing the potty training tally. Bailey is down to no more than 1 accident a day (if that). The last three days she has had no accidents. So....I think we have seen enough progress in the two weeks since this has started that I'm comfortable saying - WE ARE POTTY TRAINED!!!
