Potty Training 101

Potty training sucks.  Plain and simple.  After reading everyone's success stories about the 3 day potty training, I decided to give it a shot.  Yesterday was day one.  Yesterday consisted of lots of cleaning, laundry and running to the potty.  Needless to say we had lots and lots of accidents.
Today has been a little better but she still hasn't gotten the hang of it yet.  We've made headway though.  This morning I could tell she needed to go so I kept asking her if she needed to.  She kept telling me no until she just couldn't hold it anymore.  I picked her up, ran to the bathroom tripping over 100 stuffed animals and trying to pull of her panties in the process.  We made it to the potty with a puddle in front of it and a few drips inside it.  Lily laughed the whole time I was running with her.  Apparently it was fun.  So I let her flush, we clapped for her and made it a big deal.  She was so proud of herself.  Even though she technically didn't make it we still made a big deal that she went a little.  I thought we were good so I took a break from following her all over the place.  Well that was mistake #1.  So she was playing quietly, which should have tipped me off, when she ran past the office.  I noticed her panties looked a little fuller than earlier.  Yep she had another accident.  Luckily it cleaned up easily.  Accident #3 I asked her if she needed to go and she started running for her potty.  She peed on herself the whole way, but I think she's getting the idea.  I think she just waits until the last second, like most kids do.  We got to the bathroom but it was too late.  I still made a big deal about how she new she had to go and ran.  Hopefully the rest of the day can only get better.
It's so hard potty training the second one.  I know you'd think it would be easier but for me it's not.  Emilee is my pleaser.  Potty training her was the easiest thing ever.  If it hadn't been for her daycare she would have been potty trained months before Lily was born.  I'd have her potty trained on the weekend then she'd go to school and regress.  It was really annoying.  She was so eager to do it, whereas Lily I think could care less.  Lily is definitely not a pleaser.
I'm really hoping the rest of today we can get this down because I'm so tired of being stuck at home.  I have stuff I need to go do.  I think I picked a bad week to start, but then again when is a good week?
