And the battle begins...

Yesterday began the battle of all battles in our house. We started potty training Alexa. We have been hyping it up saying that once we were out of diapers that she would have to begin using the potty. She would always agree, but I don't think that she would take us to seriously. The day finally came and each attempt at sitting her on the potty ended in a lot of tears shed (by Alexa, not us yet!). She peed once and was so proud! She even asked to yell out the slider door that she did it town. It was very cute! But, about 30 minutes later, she had another accident. We are using pull-ups at night as we don't expect her to be able to so it all in one day. She kept asking once Jake got home from school "Is it night time now?". Our answer was "Yes, but are not getting a pull-up until bedtime!". "OH!" was the comment that we got back. It is 10:30 in the morning and so far all I have got her to do is nothing. One pair of underwear have been slightly damp, so I know it is there. She just refuses to give up control and just use the potty! It is making for a very long morning, let me tell you! I wish that there was some miracle way of doing this so that she had the confidence and we didn't have the headache!
