We have completed another exciting week of potty training. Maddie did so well with her first week and continued to do well for the majority of the second week. She went 5 days without an accident (Friday morning until Wednesday morning). We were so proud of her! We rarely have to ask her to go to the potty. She’s been very good at asking to go when she needs to go. On Thursday evening, we asked Maddie to pick out her nighttime diaper. She declared, “I don’t wear diapers aaaaaaaannnnnymore, OK? I’m a big girl. I wear underwear.” So, we let her wear underwear. We are officially done with diapers (except for the swim diapers out of respect for the sanitation of swimming pools!).

Not surprisingly, she had an accident on the first diaper free night. We were pretty sure it happened when she woke up as she seems to be a bit disoriented upon waking in the morning. The next two days were accident free day and night, and then last night she woke around 2:30am and wet her sheets. We had a little bit of a setback this morning when she refused to potty first thing in the morning. She then had two accidents before I even got out of bed (Gabe was up with her). We knew to expect some setbacks along the way, but it’s still frustrating when they occur! Since she had had only one daytime accident in over a week, we had started to get a false sense of confidence in the potty training. She’s still doing great, and we’re really proud of our big girl.
