Yep, that is the consensus after three whole days without diapers. Day one was pretty messy. Day two was without an accident. Day three was a mixed bag. What was noticeable, was that Lila had to sit for long periods which was coupled with high anxiety when she had the sensation of "going." The few drops in potty after each fuss told me she was trying hard to hold it in. Eventually, she would relax - 45 minutes later. I have to give her credit because the girl will sit, and sit and sit and sit etc.
Alex and I both think we made progress but Lila's demeanor certainly did not. She finally broke down tonight. She flipped out in the bath (her favorite, cry free zone) and was crying on and off while getting PJ's and stories underway. She went down for the night crying as well. To top it off, she is super snugly and obviously seeking some comfort.
I think she has been under a lot of stress. Staying home and under the potty gun was not her idea of a good three days. Not mine either. We are going to back burner it for another couple weeks and try it again. No need to stress the poor girl out. To be honest, I would much rather wipe stinky bottom than be startled by a little brown monster looking back at me in her potty. Too much, I know.
