Be honest...how many accidents on day 1 of 3 day PT?

DD has been really good about going pee in the potty for about a month, but was still in either cloth diapers or pull ups, so would go in those in between sessions of sitting on the potty. I really should have started this a lot earlier 
Anyway, decided to try the 3 day training this weekend and day 1 has been awful so far - 4 accidents already and she's only been up for 2.5 hours. She did pee when she first got up and peed one other time when I told her it was time to pee on the potty, but otherwise she just stands in the kitchen and pees on the floor. I take her to the bathroom at the first indication, but she's usually "done" by the time we walk even the 15 feet to the bathroom. I still make her sit on the potty for a few minutes, then she takes her wet underwear to the laundry, cleans up the kitchen floor, and washes her hands. Hopefully the interruption of her play will be enough motivation, but I'm beginning to have some doubts. Please tell me it gets better and that this is worth it!

That's funny. DS had 4 accidents already this morning (our first day), and I am considering it a HUGE success, rather than considering it awful. He has never peed or pooped on the potty or potty-trained in any way before day, so I think he's doing great! He has had 4 accidents (in a 4 hour period) and 2 (and a half) successes!
My only suggestion is moving the potty closer to where you are. There is no way we could keep it in the bathroom on Day 1. We could never get him there in time. We are keeping it out in the living room/play room with us, so that it is close-by when he has to go.
