Potty Training

Feeling defeated after day 1

After day 1 of potty training, I am already exhausted and wondering if he is ready.  We are definitely going to stick with it through the long weekend, but you just can't help but wonder, you know?  It wasn't an awful day - 2 pees on the potty and 6 accidents (all but one in the morning), but he was putting up a huge fight about having to go on the potty all evening.  We are trying to follow for the most part the 3-Day PT method. 

Anyone (or everyone) have a rough first day and things got better on day 2?  Some words of encouragement welcome :)

  • hang in there.  that's not bad for the first day.  we went from 6 accidents day one to 2 accidents by day 4 and now 14 days out he's only had two accidents over the past 5 days altogether.  think about how many times it has been reinforced to your lo that they go in their diapers compared to how many times you have had them go on the potty.  they'll get it :)
