Noah's 2nd Day of Potty Training: Synopsis

Day 2 of Potty Training: Better Day Overall...in fact, after I looked at the OVERALL day, it was markedly better. However, this morning was a bit trying at times, but we made it through. Here's how day 2 of Noah's potty training went.
6:05 am- Noah woke up, very wet diaper. Tried to go pee pee in the big potty, but no pee pee. Improvement is he didn't fight very much to try to go on the potty.
6:12 am-Milk
6:30 am- VERY resistant to going pee pee, but eventually went pee pee on the potty at 6:35 am. 7:05 am-Again, Noah was quite resistant but went pee pee on the big potty. DID put on underwear with no problems, which was a good thing:) Go Noah!
7:35 am-Pee Pee on "Daddy's Big Potty," (our bathroom potty) with NO PROBLEM or resistance. (Daddy cheered him on, and Noah did great:)
8:03 am- Noah went pee pee on the small potty. No problems. Good job!
8:32 am-Pee Pee on big potty with NO FUSSING! Go Noah!
8:47 am- Pee pee accident on the floor. No problem. Mommy mopped it up with the steam Shark. As soon as it was mopped up, Mommy went to put up the mop and returned to find:
9:00 am-Pee pee accident. At first I thought maybe Noah got into my caffeine free coffee, because I found him in a big pile of wet, spreading the wet all over the floor with his hands and feet. Nice. BUT IT WASN'T COFFEE! This was the SAME spot I just mopped. Oh well. I mopped it again.
9:22 am- The last accident took a bit of time to clean Noah up & mop up the floor. I received a text message from Mary Beth, checked my message, and sure enough...ANOTHER pee pee accident in the SAME spot on the floor. At this point, I was taking deep breaths, and remembering that this is a process. Once again, out came the Shark Steam Mop!
9:50 am- Noah went pee pee on Daddy's potty. No problems. No fussing. Excellent!
10:20 am- Noah said, "poo poo," so I quickly swept him up and took him to the potty. Noah kept throwing fits, trying to lift the big potty lid. I tried to explain to him, model to him, etc. that when he poo poos on the big potty, the lid is down (unlike when he pee pees on the potty). He eventually quit fighting me, and sat on top of the potty, which I thought was great...until a big squirt of pee pee came directly onto my shirt. Noah just thought he had to poo poo, but was just figuring out "the gotta go feeling," which was pee pee. No problem. I turned him right around and he pee peed in the potty. Sorry baby. Mama's bad. We relaxed with a prize and a fun snack as a reward for making it through all that!
10:50 am: Noah made more pee pee in the big potty with NO FUSSING:)
10:56 am: Milk before winding down for nap.
11:18 am: Huge fit about going potty. I let Noah just throw his fit on the bathroom floor because he was in tantrum mode. While throwing a fit, Noah had a pee pee accident on the bathroom floor.
Took a break with nachos with Mama.
11:37 am:Noah went pee pee on the floor (minutes before our timer went off). Oh well. Good try. Cleaned it up.
12:30-3:00 pm- Nap time for Noah. Mommy mowed the front & back yard and cleaned up.
3:05 pm- A little fussy after waking up, did not want to try to potty; nothing came out when he tried, but I appreciated him trying.
3:30 pm- Tried to pee pee in the big potty (reluctant again), no pee pee. Fussy.
4:03 pm- Noah made pee pee on big potty with no fussing. Great:)
4:30 pm- Pee pee on the big potty with no fussing! Hooray!
4:50 pm- Pee pee outside in the grass (We were outside, so he thought that was cool).
5:23 pm- Pee pee on big potty. Go Noah!
6:15 pm- Pee pee on big potty. Yay!
6:40 pm- Noah said, "poo poo," so we rushed Noah to the potty and tried to encourage him to go, but once again, it was Noah feeling "that gotta go feeling." He went pee pee on the potty, but I'm really proud that he mentioned that he had to go! Way to go, Noah! You're making progress!
7:04 pm- Noah went pee pee on the hall potty for the 1st time. No fussing or problems at all! Great job! No accidents since 11:37 am this morning. THAT'S GREAT NOAH!
So, even though we continued our ups and downs, Noah made lots of progress today & I'm VERY proud of him! Changing the underwear also made a huge difference! Day 2 Down.
