Potty Training

Just when I was about to give up on potty training for awhile, Diana had a moment that made me so happy that I guess I will keep trying for awhile. We almost had the potty training thing down but then a couple of things caused us to degress...vacation bible school (where she was in pullups for a week all morning) and then our 14 hour car ride and vacation (it's one thing if she pees on my floor but I couldn't have her doing that at Mom & Dad's). I will admit, it is a lot harder to potty train a child when you already have another child and you are constantly on the go. I remember with Jonathan I didn't go anywhere for the first couple weeks, not even to the grocery store. Now with Diana we are all over the place, which doesn't help matters. Diana and I have definitely been having our battles over the potty, she will refuse to go and if I try to put her on the potty she will back arch and not sit down. Today, I had to go upstairs and before I went, I asked her if she had to go potty. Of course she said no. I was up there for awhile and I kept yelling down and pretty soon I didn't hear an answer so I asked Jonathan what Diana was doing. She was in the bathroom, had gone potty and was trying to wipe. I was so excited! And then at nap time today I asked her to go before nap but she said no but after we read a couple books she said potty and took off to the bathroom. Fingers crossed that we might be back on track.
