Potties ARE scary

Marli has really had no problems adjusting to major mile stones so far (bottle, big girl bed) so I thought potty training her would be easy...hmmm nope!
Me: Hey your diapers are almost gone and when they are we are going to start wearing your fancy underwear.
Marli: We could just go to the store and buy more diapers. Dang she's smart!
So I did what any good mom would do and lied to her.
Me: Sorry they don't make your size anymore.

We are on day two of wearing fancy underwear. So far her only accidents have been at night and during nap time yesterday. I think that's great! The only problem is she completely freaks out if there isn't a squishy tushy (a little insert thing that sits in the big potty). I even told her that she could pick out a toy at the Aquarium today if she would use the potty there but she was not havin' it.
Not sure what to do about this besides never go anywhere!

Maybe you could carry that "squishy tushy" around with you in the mall. I'm sure everyone would understand. Maybe you'd be a trend-setter with a new kind of hat.
