So, the real skinny on our potty fun

We are so proud of our little girl and her potty learning experience. It has been a roller coaster lately though, but it has made me a much more relaxed mom. We thought a few weeks ago that we had this thing mastered. She was doing so well and going several days without accidents and even then it would just be an isolated one. But after we got back from North Carolina, it all went south. Now she is having more accidents then successes. As in the post before, she is telling us more when she does need to go and as soon as she goes, she tells us too, but I am finding myself between a rock and a hard place. I know that life has been very hectic for us right now, so we are trying to take it all in stride and not make a big deal out of accidents, but I was so enjoying where we were. It is obvious how stress affects these little ones. I am debating wether or not to bring out some diapers again because I have a whole laundry basket full of wet pants, but I don't want to set her back further by doing so. I think we will just stick it out and be patient and let time tell. But I don't want to creat undo stress for her either. She does so well when it is just the three of us, but as soon as we get around lots of other people, it is up in the air. Oh well, I know that she is young and potty training is a process, but I just thought I would pass on the experience.
