Potty-Training Final Update « Kidblogging »

I think I forgot to announce:

My daughter is well and fully potty-trained.

When we took the 9-day vacation two weeks ago, she did awesome. In the car, she always told me she had to pee, and was able to hold it for 15-20 minutes until we got to a gas station or rest area. After arriving, the very next day, when I asked her if she needed to go pee-pee, she said, "I already did!" The next time I asked her, she said the same thing, and said, "I went poopy, too!" And that's the way it was the rest of the time. When she needed to go, she went and took care of it without prompting or help.

She did have one small poopy accident the night we got home. I think she just wasn't expecting it, and she stopped it before it got messy, told me immediately, and finished up after I changed her.

Absolutely no accidents since, and I don't need to remind her at all. She's transitioning to pre-school now at daycare.

Congratulations! I actually ended up finding the process to be sort of bitter sweet at the end, but then I'm hanging on to fight the passage of time the best I can!

Congratulations! My daughter is so ready to be trained and I so don't want to get started. I want the end result, but not the trouble and accidents.

Just remember what Rae said: cut the training pants and sew on some velcro. It makes changing after an accident so much easier.

...or, I'm convinced it would have, if I hadn't been too unskilled to attempt it.

Congrats! I have to confess, I'm already looking forward to not having diapers to change, and we've got a loooooong way to go, especially if we have more. Oh well. Price you pay and all that. But I'm jazzed for you. :-)
