Potty Training

Dare I Say It? We Are Done With Diapers

Except for at night time (even though I can’t remember the last time Noah peed in his pull-up and Zo’s been pretty good too).  It has been about a week now of our little princess using the potty.  We spent the last 4 days in underwear with one minor almost accident.  She went to the sitters today in underwear.  Here’s to hoping she is still wearing them when I pick her up.  I hope…Please don’t let her pee all over the floor.  That would totally suck.  She is excited about being a big girl and must have told everyone she passed at drop-off at Noah’s school that she was wearing underwear.  It is pretty cute and OMG–I’m getting a pedicure with January’s pull-up money.

I have been freaking out about her not being out of diapers and I have once again been reminded that the kids will develop at their own pace and when they are ready they are ready. No need to push.  She has shown an interest in wearing underwear and going on the potty and she just decided it was time I guess.

Hoping I don’t have to come back and eat crow on this one.  Please pull-up fairy!

My baby girl who is 2 and a half–when the f* did that happen? How did my little bundle of sweet babyness turn into a 2 and a half-year-old bundle of independence and pure girlieness?  Anyway.  Zoë is all girl and anyone who has ever met her can attest to that.  She is dying.  I mean DYING to go to school in the fall.  She needs to be potty-trained to do that.  Also, she needs to be potty-trained because I am so over changing diapers and really is there anything cuter that a little girl’s butt in cutesy little panties?  I think not.

She has been wearing pull-ups and for the third day that girl has been dry all day with no accidents at the babysitters.  THREE DAYS.  How many days has she been dry at our house–wanna guess?  ZERO.  ZERO for those of you who didn’t get that the first time.  THREE DAYS at the sitters and ZERO at ours.  She has used the potty and will tell us when she remembers but she hasn’t gone all day at our house.  The secret you ask to the babysitters success and my failure?  Aside from the fact that she probably reminds  Zoë frequently (I do not–I know BAD MOMMY)–bribery (see below Image).

I have already stated that Zoë is a girlie girl and she fell in with Pinkalicious and Purplicious and wants them so very very badly.  If she keeps staying dry at the babysitters, she gets Pinkalicious.  My promise of marshmallows pales in comparison.  Zoë now goes by the name Zoëlicious.  I am in trouble aren’t I?
