We were still potty training and didn't go places but I did go for a run! Lily came over to visit for a few minutes too.

6.2 Day 3
Ella woke up in the night and then ended up peeing while she stood at her crib. That's pretty good. Too bad I didn't get there sooner.
When she woke up in the morning she wanted to nurse before going to the potty. I let her but feared she'd pee on me. She did not. She did go on the potty but then had 3 accidents too all within a half hour.
At 9:30 she peed while looking out the front door. It was a big accident. Then she didn't go again until after nap. She wouldn't go on the potty just after waking up then had an accident a little later. I sat her on the potty and then she went more.
She pooped in the tub for the first time.
During dinner she signed to use the potty and I rushed her to the bathroom and she went. That was the highlight of the day.
She was in her crib trying to go to sleep and then got up and started crying. Then Dave was looking at the monitor (since I gave it to him) and said she was signing to go potty. I got in there and she didn't want to go and just wanted to play. A few minutes later she had an accident on the middle of the floor.
Overall there were 16 bathroom happenings and only 2 she went in the potty. She had a couple close calls. Some of the accidents were just damp panties. I'm not sure how I can think overall this is better since it's still an insane amount but just from being with her all day this is what happens.
So before we used to ask her if she had to go and she'd sign back to us. But based on Lora Jensen's book, you are supposed to just tell them to tell you when they have to go. I think this was such a change that she has issues with it now. I'm not sure.
There were numerous times of signing for potty and then she doesn't go. But she thinks she sits down and then 1 second later she looks if there is pee or poop and then hops off when there isn't.
We didn't leave the house so that makes for a very long day. We did play out back and she didn't have any accidents out there. Dave brought home In n Out because having your eyes glued to your kid makes it hard to do anything. I was loading the dishwasher at one point and that's when she had one of the accidents. It's like she sees when I'm not watching and does it or goes and hides and does it.
I'm not hopeful about the succeeding but I do not want to start over! (I STILL have the same thoughts 2 months later)

6.1 - Potty Training Day 2
Ella woke up at 7 AM! She slept through the night. She was dry! She even went to sleep early and didn't go to the bathroom for an hour before she went to sleep!
She didn't want to sit right away and I'm not supposed to force it. But then a few minutes later she started peeing on the floor. She stopped as I went to move her to the potty. Then a minute later she went a lot on the potty.
All day she mostly had accidents. But it was just better than Day 1. Most of them were en route to the bathroom or closer. Or she signed to go and then didn't go and would run off the potty. Then a minute or so later she'd pee on the floor. What an ordeal.
Ella wanted to nap early. So we both napped. She napped on me. Then it ended up being a 3 hour nap. I only napped the first half hour and then I just had this fear she'd pee on me so I couldn't fall back to sleep. She did not though.
She woke up and signed and went on the potty. She was so proud that she was living off that high for a good hour being so happy playing.
She had 1 extremely close call accident (6 inches from the potty) and 2 or 3 accidents after signing and sitting on the potty then getting up and then going. According to my app she had 15 total diaper changes. I'm entering all potty usage and accidents as diaper changes. 4 of those instances were within a half hour and she was trying to poop but would then have a tiny bit of pee just enough to make her panties wet and nothing so the numbers seem extra high. (From May 1-30 she had 6.6 diaper changes (includes potty usages) a day and in April it was 6.7 so 15 is really high!
We played outside for a little bit but I know she misses going to parks and seeing people. It makes the days really long. Two of her accidents where when I was distracted doing something else. I wish food would magically appear on the table and that it would be cleaned up. It's tough.
Ella did such a good job eating KFC for dinner. She used her spoon to eat mashed potatoes with gravy and coleslaw. She loved gravy. She dipped her potato wedges in the mashed potatoes, too. She liked chicken breast. She didn't like the chicken strips though. I don't like the strips either.
She had a bath then went to sleep shortly after. Dave fell asleep before Ella did. So I watched Pretty Little Liars and used my computer a bit.
Ella was getting sick of me. I can tell. She is luring me out of rooms by tugging at my pants and then closing the door behind me while she stays in the room.
Instead of detailing what time what happened with the diaper changes I'm just going to include the screen shots from my app.
