Potty trained?

I don't want to jinx it, but I think Julia is officially potty trained. AND it only took 3 days!!!!

I decided last week that it was time for her to be potty trained. So this Monday morning we did away with the diapers and went straight into underwear. Things went MUCH better than I thought they would. I had been explaining to her for the days leading up to potty training that she is now a big girl and she was going to wear underwear and she was not allowed to pee in the underwear and get it dirty, she had to pee in the potty. This really seemed to help her. I think that is just her learning style. I found that if you explain things to her, she does MUCH better with it. So anyway, I put the underwear on her and had her sit on the potty every 30-60 minutes. I think we had about a 50% success rate that first day. On Tuesday morning I was ready to throw in the towel, though, she was peeing in her underwear right after I just had her sit on the potty. But by the afternoon/evening she did much better. The accidents she did have were on the bathroom floor, so she tried to make it in time. Yesterday was really good. Only one pee and one poop accident all day! And the pee accident was once again in the bathroom, so she almost made it. Then today she was been accident free!!!! Well, she did have one at nap time, but I did not hear her yelling for me to let her out of the crib so she could use the potty. So I blame myself for that one and don't count it. I have started putting underwear on her at naptime, but still sticking with a diaper at bedtime for right now. Oh, I very rarely have to tell her to go use the potty. She has figured out on her own when she needs to go, and just goes to the bathroom and does her thing.

I am so BEYOND EXCITED!!! I am so proud of my big girl. You can tell Julia is very proud of herself too! She loves wearing her underwear and tells me diapers are for babies. I hope she does not regress when Baby Jude comes. Sure, I know she will still have the occasional accident, but that is to be expected.
