She did it! We are so excited. We've made a new record for potty training. Emily has now gone 24 hours without wetting her pants. Last night Nathan put a diaper on Emily because we didn't want her to wet her pants in the middle of the night. But, this morning I heard her being frustrated and I was afraid she would wake up the baby so I hurried out to see what was wrong. She was trying to pull her pants down and couldn't because of the diaper. So I helped her and she went potty. Her diaper was DRY!!! We're celebrating today.
How it finally came around to be. Well...two cold showers. Someone told Nathan that they gave their kid a cold shower to rinse off in. (In Tucson though, cold water doesn't exist. So it was more of a luke warm water.) She HATED it. I asked her while she was in the shower, would you rather go potty instead? And she said, "potty, potty, potty" OK. So she'd sit on the potty for a while. After two of those, we've had a 24 hour stretch. It's been 24 hours since her last shower. I tried the whole "be nice" thing about accidents. We've sort of been trying off and on, and then recently I've just been going at it (I don't even know how long it's been). I've sort of just let her run diaperless (but with a dress on just in case anyone saw her). I don't know what I'll do with a boy if we ever have one. Obviously not put him in a dress :) We sort of got tired of the whole potty training thing, thus the "cold" shower (which I will repeat was not cold, but it wasn't very warm either). We were going to the zoo today anyway, but I'm going to tell Emily we're going because she's such a big girl going potty. We'll make a big celebration out of it.
