Potty training:

Wow, this is going to be harder than we thought. On her first Day I let Ceana out every three hours and we had no accidents. I thought we were as good as gold.... nope I was just lucky enough to get her timing down. Since then we have resorted to a delicate routine. Ceana is let out back every three hours where we say "go potty" everytime. Either Chris or I sit outside with her and she is not allowed in until she goes. As she goes we try and give her as many good praises as possible. When she goes in the house we are also telling her no and then promptly taking her outside. All of the literature that we have read has told us that she can't actually "hold" anything yet, so we are trying to balance not having too high of expectations with letting her know that going in the house in unexceptable and not letting it become habit forming.
