Potty Training!!!

This is my warning there is yucky picture and you might think I am disgusting. But I am one proud Mama so I have to share so you have been warned!!! Yesterday Zoe told me she wanted to sit on the potty so I took her diaper off and sat her on her potty and she actually went!!! I was so surprised and  happy at the same time!!! She was went a total of four times and had one accident before her nap time. I was thrilled that she just went the one time but when she went four time i knew it was time to buckle down on this potty training thing. After her nap she was not interested at all. I made her sit on the potty and stuck to my guns and she was whining and pretending crying. I have to admit I was getting a little frustrated but I kept telling myself to take deep breaths. Zoe did go a tiny bit so I told her she could go outside with daddy for a couple minutes but she had to come back in after a couple minutes to go potty. Well that was my mistake daddy ended up bring her back in after two minutes outside. Zoe was soaked. I was not very happy. It was time to get ready for church so I put a pull up on her and I was planning on after I had to play the piano to go down to the nursery and put her on the piano. But I totally forgot all about potty training. But when we got home she was only a little wet. So I put her on the potty and she tried telling me "no" but I made her and after a couple minutes she went!!! Daddy was even there and was so proud of her!!! This morning She threw a fit because she wanted her diaper on and I told her no that she is a big girl and needs to go on the potty. Zoe was not happy with me, She kept telling me "no" and was trying to put her diaper on by herself. I told her diapers are for babies and she is a big girl. That seemed to help a little but she still was not happy about it. So I left her bear bottom and stuck with it and she was dry all day!!! I was thrilled at least we are making progress!!! I was expecting more accidents but she did a great job staying dry all morning!!! I did put a diaper on her at nap time and I am so glad I did because she did a B.M.  But I cleaned her up and just reminded her where she goes potty.  And she even told me she goes "pee in the potty". I kept her bear bottom all afternoon so far and she has been running over to the potty all by herself and sitting and going all by herself!! And She actually went over to her potty and did a B.M in it!!! I was expecting her to do a B.M I have been just focusing on the pee so she totally surprised me when I heard her going. The picture below is first B.M in her potty!!!!

Zoe can't believe she did it herself!!!

 My happy potty trainer!!!

While writing this Zoe actually went pee 3 times and had another B.M in the potty!!! 

Zoe was dry all day!!! She didn't have any accidents all day!!! I am such a proud Mama!!!
