I hate potty-training mode. As much as you prepare yourself for what it will require, it is still a big adjustment. I feel like being a hermit as to not risk getting the floors wet in the places we go. But we risk it anyway and have to persuade her to stop what she's doing and go to the potty. She is really smart and could stay dry but decides not to. It's very frustrating. We have 1/2 of the day with accidents. It's frustrating but I'm not going crazy...yet. I have just decided to let her have her time figuring this out and hope that she does. It definately kinks things up a bit, though, that's for sure.
