One thing I detest is potty training.  I love having it done but the process…UGH!  Until now.  I was lamenting to a girlfriend of mine about how I feel about potty training and she said she hated it to but she found this e-book called 3-day potty training  by Lora Jensen and how helpful it was.  So I immediately jumped aboard.  Anything that can get this process over with in three days is the thing for me!  I was ecstatic to say the least.  My little one was about 26 months old when we took the plunge, much younger than my others were when I trained them.  I was bound and determined that this was going to work.  We poured over the book and got everything in place.  We waited for just the right weekend to begin.  Day 1 was a disaster, she peed on the floor all day long.  I went to bed doubtful of the method and knowing I would be up all night but we followed the plan.  She did it, she stayed dry and made it to the toilet in the morning.  Over the course of the next two days you could see the light go on and she knew what to do, her  ”Ah Ha” moment that Oprah talks about, I guess.  

Since then we have had minor setbacks where she would have days that she had accidents.  We just got back on the plan and then we were fine again.  I made the mistake of waking her up at night and taking her in to go potty.  It doesn’t seem like a bad thing, she would wake up dry and I didn’t have to change the sheets in the middle of the night but yet she wasn’t being trained, I was.  When I would forget to wake her, her bed would be wet.  So I got the book back out and reread what to do at night.  It worked!  She is doing so well and she is so proud of herself waking up dry in the morning and not having to go to the bathroom at all in the middle of the night.
