Pooh is for potty


Hailey has been potty training since around Thanksgiving time.
She will go days where she is dry at daycare and nights where she is dry during the evening. But the problem is in her drive with dad from daycare (where she is dry) to home (where she will be dry some evenings) she soaks her diaper.

She is still really wet at night but will stay dry during her naps.

She knows when she needs to go and doesn't like being wet anymore so will ask to be changed a lot of times right after she's gone but she is still kinda lazy about it.
You can ask her every 15 minutes if she needs to go to the bathroom adn a lot of times she will take you up on the offer and half the times she'll squeeze something out.

Some days she's so good that she'll go in the bathroom and you'll hear a flush because she just did it all on her own with out the announcements.

One day I decided to try big girl undies on her.  I thought that maybe that's the little push of excitement she would need to put the finishing touches on the long drawn out process.
She LOVED it!
All night long she would tell us about her undies by pulling down her pants and pointing "Or- A" (Dora undies)  Within the first hour she had wet her undies and was standing in a puddle of potty.
Back to diapers I guess.

Trouble is- this little girl got a taste of big girl panites and now she is hooked.
Not enough to keep her dry but she can't get them out of her mind.

When I announce "Girls, it's time to get dressed"
Hailey runs off and tries to sneak undies on and get her pants or jammies on before I make it into the room.

She'll get there soon.  She's super close and maybe a trip to the store for some new undies might just do the trick after all.

A trip to the store for some more big girl panties is what is needed. Shopping is a very powerful motivator! :-)
