Potty training start

David is laying in the extra bed in Sophia's room because she will not go down to sleep. She keeps saying 'I want to poo poo in the potty' what she really means is 'i don't want to go night night.' We are so tired.
we have made some tactical errors today but overall it has gone okay. She is way over tired, was up early and barely napped, we kept her on the potty way too long, and she would just hold it, then get up and go a few minutes later. So things did not start out great, but they went okay. Two times she told us she had to go and actually went, that was great. but now, we are all so tired and she won't sleep. We don't know when to believe her and when it is just pure manipulation.

The day was filled with lots of treats, cookies, chips, etc. lots of videos, finger painting, all things she loves. She had four accidents and went pee pee on the potty seven times, she went poo one time on the potty. But all this is really just because we kept her on there so long. we finally started learning her timing and could take her off longer. We are so tired.

Really hoping she stays dry through the night, which she has before, but who knows now...she isn't even asleep yet and it is 2 hours past her bedtime, almost time for me to feed Isabella (who is regressing in her great sleeping)...
Need extra strength for tomorrow...Leaning on HIM for it.

Total Tally:
Pee: 7-4
Poo: 1-0
Accidents total: 4
Did I mention we are so tired :)
