Oops... A Small Step Off Track

Samantha kept saying she had to potty/poop this morning but wouldn't go, so Daddy suggested a diaper. She loved that idea! She jumped off the toilet, ran into her room, and lied down on the floor, calling for a diaper and waiting for one. I gave in to avoid the fight so we could leave for Grandma's and I could get to work, then she insisted on wearing a diaper all day, although she still peed in the potty. I am afraid that if we take a step back or get off track, Sammie will get side tracked and forget or not care about using the potty; or worse yet, get confused about when she can go potty.
I thought potty training was going to be a difficult task (and a messy one), but Samantha has been awesome at making it easy. I hope to keep that up.

Other than that, Sammie had a wonderful day at Gran's. She ate a lot, slept a lot, played a lot and even got her spirit on.
 

Sammie is quickly approaching two and we are definitely seeing it. Not only is she listening less and testing the limits, she is showing more [stronger] emotions like getting angry when things don't work out in her favor. Her thing- since she was little- is to "power up", as Daddy and I call it and some times she will slam her hands on the counter or wall. We just have to let her ride out these feelings.
