Diaper Swappers

Bleh. After 2 glorious days, Wednesday was awful. Yesterday was pretty good. Today, puddle after puddle. The roller coaster is killing me. At what point do I call it and put her back in diapers?

Update: Things are going MUCH MUCH better. After my last post, DH and I spent an entire Saturday with one or the other of us watching DD like a hawk. Ditto Sunday. I was still pretty stressed out by the time we went to visit family for dinner Sunday night. I talked to my MIL on the phone (she was no help...she said she never tried potty training before her girls were nearing 3). Then I talked to my SIL who was very encouraging--they started at 18 months, abandoned attempt 1 IIRC, and then had complete success by 2 yrs. Just knowing someone IRL who had success with a younger girl gave me confidence...and I also decided to stop worrying about it so much...

The past week has been really amazing. We've had several 100% days and a few days with one miss in a day. And I'm FINE with that. She tells us when she has to go in the car, too, which takes a ton of you-must-stay-home stress off of me. Yay!

Glad it's going much better!

Great news! They have their good days and bad days. The bad days are when you are distracted, trying to get too much done, and aren't paying enough attention.

Glad it's going better! We PT'ed our 22-month old girl, and once it clicked, it really clicked. Good luck!
