The Potty Training Diaries

Tuesday May 22

This morning I had dry pants when I woke up! I found my Mom in bed and she said it wasn’t time to get up yet but the sun told me it was. My Mom said she doesn’t like the sun butting it's nose into our business and telling me things that aren’t true. She asked me if I wanted to go potty so I ran into the bathroom and that’s when she found out that I was dry all night! After I tinkled I went back to bed with my Mom and we slept for a long time. When we got up I was ready to go potty again and then later I told my Mom when I had to go. I wasn’t sure if the pee was going to come out but I put my head in my mom’s lap and waited for it. Pretty soon it came out! My Mom keeps telling me that sometimes it takes a minute and I guess she’s right.

I didn’t have any accidents today except one right after my nap. My Mom said it was a good thing I was sleeping in the plastic bean bag chair because there was a river in there. Once again, I didn’t get any of my clothes wet. I’m really nice like that.

I was wet and poopy this morning and my Daddy was lucky enough to find that out while my Mom snored away in bed. But I used the potty the rest of the day. Yay! I’m even learning how to tell my Mom when I need to go. The great thing about my Mom is that she doesn’t ask me 50 times a day if I have to go potty. That would just be annoying and make me mad. Instead, everyone tells me when they are going potty and I go with them if I need to. I’m a lot faster than they are so as soon as someone says they’re going potty I run in there and use it first!

I haven’t worn a diaper for a whole week now! In fact today I didn’t have one single accident and now my pee comes out in the potty whenever I want it too. I don’t know why my Mom gets so excited about that but she’s happy so it makes me happy too. She tried to put my plastic pants on me tonight before I went to bed but I wouldn’t let her. I’m not wearing those things any more. My panties are more comfortable and plastic pants are for babies. I wouldn’t be caught dead in them.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that I had been saying my prayers for a few weeks that I would learn to use the potty and I finally have! Now when I say my prayers I tell Heavenly Father thank you for helping me learn.
