Hopefully this is the first of many cooking endeavours in an attempt to find a new selection of dishes for the family. I have been collecting cook books for some time, particularly the Pampered Chef Cookbooks, and I have decided it is about time to put them to use. Today I tried my hand at Italian Meatloaf. Essentially it is a meatloaf with various Italian seasonings and marinara sauce. It was a welcomed change to making meatloaf that I normally soak in ketchup. I should have taken pictures but I had my hands full with the kids and I just wanted to eat. I made mashed potatoes and steamed some fresh green beans with garlic. As an added bonus I found out that the kids will eat the green beans whole when steamed with garlic. Yipee!

So we were doing great for a while. Then for about a week now Carleigh has decided to be afraid of pooping on the toilet. Then the last few days she doesn’t even want to pee on the toilet. It is literally taking every fiber of my being to not yell and be mad. I don’t know what to do everyone online says to not make a big deal it is just a cry for attention. I really don’t know how they can say that she is peeing and pooping on everything and I have had it. I put her in a pull up today just to not deal with it. Hopefully it gets better… and soon.

So it seems as though the transition is done… Carleigh still has one maybe two small accidents a day, usually caused by playing then realizing too late she has to go and a little comes out. It’s just enough to warrant a change of underwear, but she wakes up from naps dry and at night if I am diligent about her going just before bed and right when she wakes up. I think the biggest hurdle is spending a few days at home to help aid the transition otherwise she would have been trained 6months ago.

So yesterday was day three and I kept waiting to update because we had been accident free all day long!!! Then I put Carleigh in bed and about 5minutes later she got up and announced that she had pooped. O well… The day was accident free. Day four she woke up wet, but I think the overnight training will take some time. As a reward for doing so well yesterday I took Carleigh to Kohls and let her pick out one package of big girl underwear – she chose the princess underwear. Since we got home she has been wearing her big girl panties and still no accidents I think the worst really wasn’t that bad in the transition, though I am sure she will have her days. I had to take the box of diapers out of her room because at the end of yesterday she was asking to be put in a diaper, otherwise I still can’t believe how well she is doing.

So yesterday was day two of potty training. Carleigh had no accidents until about 4pm when after doing so well all day I gave in and let her put on big girl underwear as a reward. Bad idea. She ended up pooping in them shortly after… I must be strong with no diapers or underwear for a few days so she isn’t encouraged to just go. After that she only had a very small accident which she held and went to the toilet after realizing. So I guess it was a good day in all and I will just keep trying
