Halt on Potty Training

We are pausing the potty training and so happy to do so! It was going nowhere fast. :)  Maddie did figure out what the potty was and what to do in it, but didn't quite get that she needed to tell us before she had to go.  She would also only tinkle a little tiny bit and then turn around and have an accidents within seconds of using the potty.  So needless to say I was cleaning a LOT of messes.

The only reason we started was because she was constantly taking off her diaper, knowing she wasn't quite ready yet but moving forward with it anyway.  So, when a couple of weeks ago she decided to start keeping her diaper on we decided to stop the madness and let her keep her diapers!

For now, she uses the potty when she feels like it but it's mostly diaper time. So the Minnie Mouse undies will stay comfortably nestled in her drawer for a bit longer. We will try again when she is ready and I think the process will be a lot smoother. :)
