Potty Training...

About a month ago I was very determined to go full force with Savannah's potty training.  I thought with her having 3 weeks off school it would be a great time to start.  That couldn't of been farther from the truth.  My schedule was so hectic and I was having to get use to being a single parent again for a while.  Potty training was going to have to wait.  

Saturday night while Mary, Claire, and Bridget were over, Savannah stood up while she was eating dinner and saying her butt hurt.  I asked her if she needed to go potty and she said yes.  I figured it would just be like every other time where she went and sat for 2 seconds and then was "all done!"  with nothing have happened.  To my surprise, she went potty!  I was so tickled!  She was so proud of herself and she got a "treat" when she was all done.  

The next morning I decided to go ahead and put her in panties and let her play around the house and see how she did.  Well after making a few uneventful potty trips Savannah had an accident.  I was in the laundry room and heard her calling from the kitchen saying "my feet hurt."  I thought maybe she stubbed her toe or something, but when I got there she was standing with her feet apart and there were pee pee drops on the floor.  (It was kinda funny)  I still made her go sit on the potty and she finished her pee pee there!  Totally happy once again.  Then about an hour later or so I sat her there and she pee peed with no problem!!  

We are off to a slow, but good start.  She grasps the concepts but I have to be attuned to her so that she doesn't get sidetracked playing and forget.  Her teacher asked me yesterday if I thought Savannah was ready for pull ups so they could take her to the potty (they won't take them if they are in a diaper, but they will if they are in pull ups)  I told her our exciting potty news and I am going to get pull ups today so she can start practicing going potty at school.  

I have to admit I am really not totally ready for this, but I figured it can't hurt to try.  I am glad her school works with them too, it will make is a bit easier if she has some sort of consistency.  She looks totally cute running around in her "big girl panties."  I can't believe how much she is growing up.  =)
