Potty Training Day 1!

I had been contemplating potty training Cadence for a long time now, and just never convinced myself it was a good time.  I've been reading about lots of different methods, and the 3 day "bare bottom" approach appealed to me most because although it sounded intense, it also seemed like we could get her trained quickly!  Last night I told James I was ready to start it this week, because I realized that although it might not be an easy task, it's not going to be any easier once school starts and I'm home alone with the kids!

So I woke up and got Cadence this morning, after talking to her last night about having no more diapers and getting to wear panties like Mommy.  I even had her go and tell James that she wanted panties and "NO MORE DIAPERS!"  This morning when I woke her up I reminded her of no more diapers, took off her overnight diaper and put her on her potty.  She went right away, so we had a little celebration, and then we went on with our day....with a naked booty.  She had one accident right after breakfast, and then went a few hours without one until James left to go to his office.  She had a couple of little accidents while climbing on top of the furniture, and two bigger ones when I was out of the room, but she seems to be catching on really well so far.  Before her nap she even went "caca" in the potty, which was a big cause for celebration.  At first I wasn't giving her any food rewards for going in the potty, but once James left and she didn't seem as interested in it, I started giving her one mini chocolate chip as a reward for using the potty, wiping, and washing her hands each time.  I'm pretty excited to see how she progresses over the next few days!
