Today was Emerys first real day of potty training, last night she went pee on the potty for truly the first time and i promised her her princess tv for Christmas, if she kept going pee pee on the potty!! YES apparently the princess tv was the key. Today i had to work so first thing in the morning i changed emmie out of her pj's and into panties and she went..Then we left for my sisters where emmie stays most mornings that i work (quick OMG i am soooo thankful for my sister) When we left i debated putting her in a diaper because honestly the thought of tearing her carseat apart to wash the cover did NOT seem appealing (graco myride 65) that things a beast.. But i went against my judgement and i didn't want Emery to think i didn't trust her soooo i got her dressed in jeans with her panties, its only a 10 min drive but it was successful nooo accidents.. When i got to my sisters to pick her up after work my sister said Emmie didn't go pee on the potty but she changed her into a diaper for nap time and the diaper was wet.. On the drive home from my sisters Emmie was in her panties and had a tiny accident, luckily it didn't soak through to the car seat (love training pants) I could tell Emmie was slightly embarassed but honestly i think she was just scared to not get her princess tv. I told her that it was totally okay and that accidents happen we just need to make sure we tell mommy next time we need to go pee before we drive. As soon as we got in okay well maybe not right away but when we got home i changed her (i wanted her to feel wet for a little while and realize its not comfortable) so after a few minutes i changed her into new panties and she went pee on the potty and then did 3 more times. Then we went out to dinner with my parents, are fast grab dinner changed to a sit down dinner when we realized are favorite "Hot dog diner" closed at 7 so we had to go someplace else..Honestly i was scared..Emery was in panties and jeans and all i could think was there was NO WAY she was not going to have an accident, we were at a restaurant without a potty chair...but alas like usual the princess amazes me , we went to the potty twice and she tried really hard but just couldn't go. So no accidents! Once we got home she went again on the potty then i changed her into a diaper and pj's and off to bed she went...Before she went to sleep she grabbed me hugged me and kissed me and said Mommy i love my panties !! which made me giggle and smile.. So our first 24 hours was a total success.. Lets hope this pattern continues..Because honestly i was going to wait till after the holidays, but if she is ready then i am MORE then ready .....
For the record. Emery will be getting her princess tv wether or not she potty trains, but it is nice to have some sort of incentive.

Potty training is kinda scary. I keep a pull up in my purse. And in the beginning I kept a pair of jeans or sweats for Brooklyn in car. It's gonna rock your world when you get to the FREE as a BIRD stage and can go anywhere with a diaper!
GOOD LUCK!
