introducing the iron bladder

DAY 3

She woke up too early.

Stayed dry all night.

Sat her on the potty, did not go.

Finally went about 3 hours after she woke up. I was in the shower because we need to go somewhere (okay, I needed to go somewhere). She became upset, stripped and climb in the shower with me. That is when she peed. (is this to graphic for some of you?) This was about 9:30am. She was still agitated after the shower and she wanted a diaper on. I had intended to take her out in her panties, but she didn't want to. After we came home she was still dry but refused to sit on the potty.

Wanted her panties back on.

Drank her brothers Gatorade, ocean water and a cup of milk.

Took a nap.

Woke up dry.

Refuses to sit in the potty, but still dry.

At this point I am getting worried. Who could drink that much liquid and hold it for that long. My concern drove me to make a quick call to the pediatrician. She said that she was probably fine, just exerting control over the situation. (great, like I need another child that is a control freak!) I felt better, but still hoping, praying that she would pee tonight after she went to sleep. A 2 year old with a UTI? Doesn't sound fun.

Ate dinner.

Went to take a bath (she made herself a mess today).

Got her undress and she looks at me and says "pee pee."

Sits on the potty, pees, and gets into the tub.

Time between pees: 10 hours. No joke.

Katie: fine

Mom: very stressed out.

Needless to say, I am more then thankful that this day is over. Writing about it is helping me relieve the stress that comes from trying to potty train. I will be back tomorrow.
