It Really Makes Me Not Take Potties For Granted, You Know?

So yesterday, Babygirl and I embarked on a potty training adventure.

The background:
1. She's had a potty chair AND a potty seat for MONTHS now.
2. She always would sit on either one but nothing actually ever...descended into the potty.
3. She likes to tell me that she's pooping right before she actually does.

After a quick grocery shopping trip, I hid all the diapers and accompanying diaper-stuff in my closet and offered Babygirl some big-girl underpants (which she has worn and peed through many times before yesterday).

She wore them and asked for a diaper multiple times (to which I said, "They're all gone - go look!" and since she couldn't find them, she believed me).

At the end of the day, she had peed on the floor twice but in the potty three times with - get this - some poop in the potty to boot.

AND THEN (this is the real kicker), she slept all night in panties and woke herself up around 3 to go pee again - needed some help since she was half asleep, but I was wildly impressed that she actually woke up and recognized the need to get out of bed and go do this since she's never had to before.

Let's keep our fingers crossed that it sticks...

I Was (Thankfully) MeMe'd!

Five Bad Habits
Well, masturbation is right up there, but I don't think it's bad so much as "bad"
I pick my cuticles
Spend money I don't have
I complain a lot
I constantly say I'm going to get together with people and then I never do
