Potty Trained.

YES!

Gracie is potty trained. Completely. She wears underwear all the time, including at night. It definitely took teamwork and lots of input from the proverbial "village" but we made it. Was it rough? Yes. Just as much (or more) rough on her as on me, I'm sure. After all, she's been into the whole diaper thing for her entire life, and suddenly we told her--yeah, we're not doing that anymore, ever again. So there were accidents, there was a lot of battling, but finally we made it through.

Always helpful, Gracie usually tries to put her extra TP back after its been unrolled.

And once she got it--all of it--she really got it. I don't have to remind her, she just tells me she's ready to go. And after waking up dry from naps for several days, she told me she didn't want to wear a Pull-Up to nap, she wanted to wear underwear. And since she'd been dry in the mornings, too, I asked her that night if she wanted to wear underwear or a Pull-Up to bed, and she said underwear. She's been wearing them to bed for a couple weeks now, and we've only had one accident, which actually happened after she got up in the morning. She is doing awesome! And she now has something new to play--her Ariel toys have all been either using the potty or pooping in their pants (and getting put in time-out). Glamorous princesses, no?

  2. Seriously, did you use some kind of magical method? I have tried and failed 3 times with Brigitte and she will be 3 soon. It exhausts me to even try with her because she she fights me on everything. She hates underwear and cries for a diaper. She hides and pees so i wont run her to the potty! Ive almost lost hope....come to Idaho and work your magic!
