Plan B

After 3 horrific days (today was the WORST!), we gave up "panty bootcamp" and we've moved on to a gentler approach. We've switched to pull ups (after wetting 13 pairs of panties in a few hours this morning, I was OVER the puddles). She's been doing amazing with the actual process - sitting on the potty, wiping, washing her hands and has been excited about the panties, but I don't think she's physically mature enough to hold it for very long. That's very frustrating for her because she knows what to do and what the idea is, but she can't do it - she's wetting a little bit every few minutes. Anyway, we hung up the headache and moved on to pull ups which let her feel when she's wet so maybe she can gradually learn what that means. Anyway, panty bootcamp is on hold until January, but we'll still be working with the potty and the pull ups every day till then! She was VERY happy to be able to get out of the house today (my very social child was ALSO very upset by the fact that we were sitting here every day). She had a ball in Target and was screaming (yes, literally) when I pulled her out of the toy aisle. We're off to the park tomorrow!

Doing what we do best :o) Shopping at TARGET! And yes, I think Santa will be bringing this beautiful pink kitchen this year!
