Potty training day 5

DAY:5 Scylla started to act more like her self this afternoon after her nap (hopefully her virus is going away) so I picked back up the potty training with out any pull ups or anything. As a reminder this is only at home she is bare bottom for the potty training. Getting her to stay on the potty long enough to go the first time was a task, I have been trying reading books, finger play songs, even the iPad. Today what worked really well was bubbles. Letting her blow them also me blowing them for her to pop. It took awhile the first time for her to go but once she did and got a surprise she was so happy that she kept going back to the potty herself. She went 3 times with only one accident between after nap and bed (3 hours). The last time I was in the kitchen making her little brother cereal and baby food when I asked her if she needed to go potty in which she ran off to the front room and sat on the potty. When I came out with his food to feed him (again we have been eating meals, playing, coloring etc, close to the potty on the floor so it's easier for her to stop what she is doing.) but I came back to the front room to her still siting on the potty. I began to fed her brother which during she decided she was done going potty so I continued to feed him. When I was done I had her and I look to see if she had went potty (I had not seen her go) but sure enough she had! Best part is she didn't care about the surprise she was to get for going potty. Almost like it's becoming second nature. I know we still have a long way to go but I think I'm going to continue this bare bottom idea at home until she is going more then interduce the panties again. One thing at a time. The important part is she is getting the idea.
