Potty Training - Take 2

Remember last year when Claire was potty training? Well it went well for a little while, then finally Luke potty trained and I got more and more prego and I just stopped working with her. Occasionally over the last year we've tried for a day or so, but after cleaning up pee a few times I just put her back in her diaper. Meggan (our nanny) has been working with her a lot the last couple of weeks so we pulled out the potty chart again last week. She gets a simple star sticker for trying and a special sticker if she goes and a princess prize.

Then something happened. On Saturday she woke up dry and I knew it was my chance so I put her on the potty.....and I kept putting her on the potty every 20 minutes for 2 hours and NOTHING happened. Then I had to go pick up Tayson from soccer so I gave up and put a diaper on Claire and we ran to the game. We were only gone for about 20 minutes total and when we got home her diaper was still dry so back on the potty and this time she went. I was so excited! She wanted to wear her panties to Luke's soccer game so I packed a big Ziploc, extra undies and pants and off we went. No accidents. Then we went to Roman's birthday party and she wore panties there too and even went potty at Jeannie's house. She made it all day without any accidents. Then on Sunday when she got up she was a little wet and very upset that she went pee in her diaper. She wouldn't wear a diaper to church (or underwear) she wore her "special church panties" as she called them (bloomers that matched her dress). We went into nursery a few times to take her to the potty but she didn't go or have an accident. Todd's grandpa came in town for the day from Idaho so we took the kids up to Salt Lake so I made her wear a diaper. A few hours into our visit I looked over and she looked like she was going so I took her to the bathroom to change her diaper and low and behold she was dry and went as soon as I put her on the potty. Yippee!

Today was a good day again. She went to Wal-Mart in her panties to pick out more princess prizes and get ice cream. I am so excited that she is really doing it. A few more days of this and I think I will only have 1 kid in diapers. First time since Luke was born minus a few short months before Sophie was born.
