Potty Training Day 3

I feel as though today was one of those take 2 steps forward and 1 step back kind of days. Courtney did really well. She had less accidents than yesterday, but still far too many than I thought day 3 would give us. It is so unpredictable! Each accident today was within minutes of taking her off the potty. I'm not sure if I need to keep her on longer or what. She still doesn't have that "urge". But I have to give her credit. I do see her really trying. One of her rewards today if she went pee in the potty was she could take her doll out in her stroller for a walk. So right after she went we celebrated and went on a walk. We hadn't gotten too far when she stopped, looked a little nervous, and started to grunt. I said, "Do you have to poo poo?" she said, "Uh huh". I said," ok let's hurry home so you can poo poo on the potty and get a prize!" we ran all the way home. I quickly put her on the potty and nothing. So we went back out and the same thing happened. We ran back home and nothing.

I was actually able to get a mini run/walk this morning. I didn't want us to be gone too long because I still don't trust her. She will hold it for 2 hours, the 20 min or maybe an hour.

I made no progress with Caylee and her night time sleeping. It's frustrating that she was doing so well and then in the last 12 days she has only had 3 days of sleeping 10 hr, the rest have been 6-8. So tonight I'm trying my next strategy. I've been checking a website for ideas. Tonight, I'm dropping the dream feed. I've been wanting to do this for awhile. So we will see.

I can't wait for our days to be back to normal. I've been adding in a few things here and there. But I feel like I need to be around Courtney constantly. So our schedule is messed up and I know she's getting bored. Tomorrow her friend Haley comes to play, so that will be big fun for her. At least I have been vetting some good cleaning during nap time. That's a huge blessing. She's been taking awesome naps this week.

I'm ready for tomorrow. We will be dragging out potty, several pairs of underwear, several pants and socks all on our walk to the park.
