Giving it a "Go"

Ready or not here we go...
She's ready - I'm kinda not. I was in no hurry for this only because it just seems like such a daunting task... "potty training." Scary, confusing, which method, which potty, rewards, charts... frightening. I have read no books, no online tutorials - just going with the "flow" (ha ha!) On Monday Audrey told me to change her diaper b/c she was wet. Then she wanted her "big girl panties" on. Now she only wants to wear her big girl panties - all the time... She's been consistent with doing #2 on the potty, but has never been interested in #1 until now. She has been doing pretty good today- 4 successes and only 1 accident! I ask her about once an hour to go - but a couple of times she has just pulled those panties off herself and gone to sit on the potty.. wow. It is only 12:30 so we'll see how the rest of the day goes. It has got to be the worst possible timing though - I'm leaving town for the weekend on Friday morning early. I'm really hoping that Charles will give this the time and attention it needs in the early stages.. {sigh} Then the next weekend my in-laws are coming to babysit over the weekend - who wants that job?! ... I wanted to wait another two weeks for this but didn't want to miss a good window of opportunity either, so here we are!
