No More Diapers

Yep, that's right.  Lilah is POTTY TRAINED!  This is a process that started back in April before she was 2.  She told me she wanted to pee on the potty.  And she did.  She did this quite sporadically for many, many months.  She got the hang of # 2 really quickly.  I don't think we changed more than 10 poopy diapers between 2 (July) and 2 and half.  That was really awesome! 

She wore pull ups from about May on.  They were fine in the summer, but as it turned colder, they became a real pain.  Every.single.time she went to the potty we would have to remove shoes, socks, pants and a wet pull up so that she could pee a tiny bit in the potty.  We forged on.

At our gym there is a "baby area" and a "big kid area" for child care.  Kids who are potty trained and three can go in the much more appealing "big kid area."  One day about two weeks ago, Lilah's gymnastics teacher (her classes are at our gym) told her that if she got potty trained she could go in the "big kids area" even though she isn't three.  She has basically been dry every since.  We went for two days in pull ups with no accidents so we switched to panties.  We have had maybe 3 or 4 accidents, but mostly it's been all dry, all the time.  On Monday I had a sitter at the house so I could do a work thing.  The sitter thought she had been potty trained waayyy longer than a week and a half because she never had to remind Lilah to go potty, she just did it on her own.  And in the last three days, she has been telling us every time she has to go.  It's awesome!

So proud of my sweet girl!!
