I survived....

Day one of potty training, that is.  It was touch and go there for awhile and at times I wasn't sure who was going to break whom.  We tried heading over to Aunt Kelly's this morning for a few hours thinking that maybe if Ashley saw Kyle peeing in the big boy potty it would encourage her...needless to say it turned in to 2 hours of stress and I was ready to give up!

Ashley did end up taking a 3 hour nap - which I thought for sure she was just trying to play me so she could wear a diaper but I think she was just worn out and so was momma.

After nap she had another mini meltdown when I took the diaper off and tried to get her to sit on the potty and put big girl undies on.  This is what happened:

That would be my sweet child throwing herself to the ground and refusing to get up.  An innocent bystander witnessing the way she was behaving would probably think I was trying to cut off one of her limbs.  Loads of fun people!

After about 6 times of her sitting on the potty and getting up and IMMEDIATELY peeing all over herself I about started crying.  Luckily Justin got home from work about this time and I called my mom for some support.  She told me to put her on the potty and not let her get up until she goes.  At 6:40 it began, Ashley on the potty and mommy sitting on the floor with a pile of books.  We sat there and read the same books over and over until 50 minutes later she FINALLY peed in the potty!!!!  I have never been so happy!  We hurried up and jumped in the car and we all went and got an ice cream cone before she went again in the car seat.

All I have to say is THANK YOU JESUS it is Friday tomorrow and Ashley goes to daycare and they get to deal with it all day! 

Momma needs a stiff drink now :)
