The Potty diaries: Day One

Today is the beginning of a long road for me! I officially began potty training. I could have never imagined what I was in for, neither did Haley. I guess I shouldn't be so negative; Haley was about 50/50 today, which from what I read is great. We went through 6 pairs of underoos. It seems like a lot but really with having to put her on the potty every 15 minutes, only 6 was outstanding. Bribing her with jelly beans worked pretty well. Going number 2 will be our biggest challenge. This just takes so much patients, time, and energy. I have to commit myself to staying home for the next few days, possibly weeks, to make sure she has it down. I don't want any accidents in Wal-Mart or Ukrops. Haley seemed to stay in pretty good spirits. I think she was pretty sick of sitting on the potty. I had to come up with ideas to keep her on the potty for a few minutes so we read some of her favorite books. Needless to say I hope day two goes a little better but I will be sure to keep you updated!
