potty trained...


So I decided that after girls camp was over I would get serious about potty training Bailey! I had half heartedly tried a few months ago, but after a reminder of what an accident was I gave up and vowed to wait until she was more ready. Well this week we started. I am telling you she was practically potty trained that first day. It was just a matter of putting those panties on and she hasn't had one single accident. Not one!! I am amazed. She even makes it through nap time with underwear on!! I haven't attempted overnight yet, but I should. I was worried about the pooping issue because with both of my boys it was like they were potty trained and then it took like 6 months to be poop trained! I hate cleaning poop out of underwear!! Bailey took to that part like a champ too! The only thing that is pretty funny is that when she first needed to poop she said, "Mommy, I don't want my panties anymore. I want a diaper!" All I had to do was explain that she could use the toilet to poop too and she was so excited! I told her I would get her princess panties if she was good about pooping! Yesterday she earned them! Who knew that potty training could be so great!!!

I'm incredibly happy for you... it will be nice to not have to change diapers for a few weeks! And it will be REALLY nice to not have to change Bailey's diapers + a new baby's diapers! What a big girl!
