Pee Pee in the Potty

OH what a ride this has been! Emersyn, who JUST turned 2, is pretty much potty trained! She is doing so great with it. The whole "potty training" was her idea. She had been wanting to sit on the potty for a couple weeks now, and we would try here and there to actually just "DO IT", but lacked the consistency of staying home to get the hang of it. Well, this past week, which was also Ezra's last week of school, she started taking her diaper off when she woke up and didn't want to keep it on. So, Friday, I just decided we have got to do this. Not sure if I really wanted to, but it was time. She has done GREAT! Especially during the day. The only accident she has had was when she hadn't slept great the night before and got up early that day. I kept trying to get her to sit on the potty, but she kept telling me, "no, i not sit on potty." We were trying to get ready to go to the pool and I wanted her to go before we went. She kept telling me, "no, I NOT sit on the potty." so, I told her I was going upstairs to put my swimsuit on and she need to go potty on the potty before she could go to the pool with us. When I came back downstairs, she had peed on the floor. Pretty sure she was thinking, well, I went potty, now I can go swimming. HA!
Although she has been in undies all day, the past two nights and naps, she has been really hard to put to bed because all she wants to do is sit on the potty. Last night, she sat on the potty for an HOUR and did nothing. So, I was putting her back in bed, as she is throwing a fit that she is not still sitting on the potty, she does not want to put the diaper on. I make her because at this point it is almost 10! SO, I let her cry in her bed for a while when all of a sudden she stops then says, "here you go mommy." I go into her room to see her naked little bottom while her diaper and pants are thrown on the floor. She had taken off her diaper and pants and peed in her bed. I am pretty sure she did this on purpose. I mean she was on the potty for an HOUR doing NOTHING! She finally let us put a diaper on and fell asleep. Then, during nap, she was yelling she had to go potty. I didn't make it upstairs in time and she had gone poop and pee in her diaper. No big deal. So I change her and lay her back down. She then tells me she needs to sit on the potty. Well, I am pretty sure she uses the potty to get out of going to sleep, so I inform her, she already went and she will be okay. I close the door and she starts crying again. A few minutes later, I hear her say, "potty mommy." I go back into her room and she has, AGAIN, taken her diaper and pants off and peed in her bed!! SHE JUST WENT IN HER DIAPER! This whole potty training thing is so different for girls! She is too smart for her own good. I know she hasn't truly gotten it yet, but this will be a fun journey!
