You just have to have patience...

My husband tells me this all the time. As a matter of fact, when I was trying to get back on to my blog to update it, I couldn't and when he showed me how to do it, he said, "You just have to have patience."

Patience, I have yet to master.

Our potty training started out really well. She was excited to sit on the potty and even smiled for the camera for me!




That was the first day.

The second day included many accident clean ups and lots of soggy undies added to our laundry.
The third day Bernadette slipped in her own urine in the entryway. That was the closest she got to peeing in the toilet. Today we took a quick trip to target to buy her new Dora underwear which ended with me running (seriously, I was running) to the bathroom with her in my arms. My hand on her bottom was slowly and warmly filling with...

So anyway, I'm praying for patience. I'm not giving up just yet, but I have accepted that I am not getting a fully potty-trained little girl for Mother's Day!

Yes, shadowboxes from Michaels. They even come with the pins to hold the hat. I recovered the back with fabric on both, but you could easily used paper too. Very easy!

Please come and follow me!

And...my almost-3-daughter is finally in underwear. It WILL happen....don't worry!!
