First day we only had one accident, and it was really my fault. We had decided to go to the neighbor's house to play and I forgot to put her on the potty before we left. Second day was great. Only one accident, which happened to be literally three minutes after putting her in her undies. Rest of the day, she was dry. Third day, two accidents. First was actually on husband's watch. Second wasn't a flood, but a little leak that she held pretty darn well. Today, totally dry. We even made a trip to Sears in our unders. Tomorrow is going to be more challenging. We're going to be away from home most of the morning. Sunshine has music class. I know it's going to be like pulling teeth to get her away to take a potty break. After music, we have a lunch date. Here, it will be the opposite. She won't eat because she'll be wanting to make frequent trips to the restroom. I really don't know how to handle this since Monster just always held it when we were out anywhere. He used to have a fear of public restrooms. He still would rather not go in one, but will if it's an emergency. So, I'm pretty nervous. I think we've had a very successful four days and I don't want to ruin it by putting her back in a diaper, but I also don't want to be having to clean up pee all over the city. Just one more daily dilemma in the life of an every day mom.
One of the worst tasks I face as a parent is dealing with bathroom issues. It's just really difficult for me. I know that everyone says they have a hard time with it, but, for some reason, this topic really gets under my skin. Monster was a late potty trainer. However, since he was late, he got it pretty much instantly...for the most part. We still have poop issues at age 5. That is one reason I'm pushing Sunshine now. She's been ready for a couple of months now, but I haven't been ready. I thought for sure I'd be ready when Monster was done with school. Nope, excuse after excuse. Finally, four days ago, just decided to do it. I decided to stick her in undies and just go with it. She did well.

Can you take something with you to bribe Sunshine to at least attempt a use at the facilities while you're out tomorrow?
