HELP!!!

I have been potty-training for about two weeks and everything was going great for the first week but after week one it all went down hill. Makayla was wearing big girl Dora panties (that she picked out) all day long for a good 4 days... and had NO accidents. I thought this potty training stuff was going to be a peice of cake. HAHA... how I was wrong. These past few days.. she is peeing every 10 minutes and having accidents left and right. I take her to the bathroom and she freaks out. I don't want to lose ground on her accomplishments but I also don't want to push her.. because I have heard they can regress if they aren't completely ready. I know the best thing to do is to just stick with her every 10 minutes and take her to the bathroom but SERIOUSLY thats alot of work.. lol. Not to mention... getting out and leading the on-the-go life I love... will have to be put on the back burner. Any suggestions from fellow mothers who have already potty trained?

This really does remind me of how it went over with Grace on the first go-around. The freaking out bit just got too exhausting and emotionally draining (for us both!), so I decided to just put it on hold and try again later. And boy did that work to my advantage, since the next time we tried, she was ready in just a few days. I hear from lots of people that even when they're showing all the right signs to being ready, sometimes it could be that they just still aren't quite there yet....but I understand how hard it is, to not totally forget it when you've made some progress. Good luck! Keep us posted on how it goes. :)

Love you guys!

Yikes- I am SO not looking forward to starting that!! Brad said last night how it's getting to be that time.... I was like, I have a 2 week old! I am so not ready to be cleaning up Savannah's accidents all day on top of taking care of Landon! So definitely no advice from me, but lots of GOOD LUCK prayers being sent your way!

Anyway, I am SO glad you are blogging! I saw the link on Julie's page this morning and had no idea you had one! So yay! for a new laptop and internet access! And for such success with PC!

I am so looking forward to seeing Makayla through the blog- we miss you guys!

Love ya!
