Potty training part II

HY was curios about why EY were doing at the potty. She would come to the bathroom to watch EY but she would not do it herself. Once a while she would sit for 10 seconds then she got back up and wanted her diaper back on. I was not ready to do cold turkey with her. We were going to wait till she showed interst like EY then we would go alone. But GongGong said one learned and the other one must be ready. GongGong insisted not to wait and just start training HY. He initiated the process but taking off HY's diaper and let her run around without diaper. He told her that if she wanted to go to school, she needed to know how to potty. If she would not do so, she would not be able to go to school and EY will go to school by herself, and she would have to stay home. The idea of not going to school and not going with EY was frightening and it did motivate her to attempt sitting on the potty. But, she would not tell me when she needed to go. I had to constantly remind her and take her to the potty. She had so much accidents that I was tired and exhausted at the end of the day. Every night I would prayed that God would help HY to click and got the idea. I was able to quit after the first week. But, she started to show a little progress. Instead of 5 to 6 accidents, it came down to 2 or 3 times. Then, at the end of second week, only #2 accidents. By the third week, she was ready to tell us as long as she was not distracted. It was the longest 3 weeks! We were glad that they didn't need diapers no more. I was so thankful for god's support during that week. All the hard work were worthy at the end.
