Potty Training Day 5

We had another successful day! Kelsie only had 2 1/2 accidents. She told us a couple of times that she needed to go potty and she stayed dry during nap! In fact she actually stayed dry and clean for 3 1/2 hours without a potty break. It had been 2 hours before we went up for nap and she refused to go before nap and she managed to stay dry even while sleeping. I am finding that the main things we need to work on are helping her recognize the feeling that she needs to go number 2 and reminding her more often about telling us she needs to go when she is distracted. She is starting to fight the timer somewhat, so we are giving her more time in between and we don't push her to go unless it has been over 2 hours.

I am hoping we are going to be completely successful at getting her potty trained this time. We have tried and failed so many times I lost count, because of her fears and resistance to change. This is the longest we have been successful at getting her to use the potty. Before she would use it for a day and then refuse the next. She seems pretty excited about giving up diapers, and so are we!
