Cold Turkey

Avery's potty training was rapidly heading downhill last weekend. She was refusing to sit on the potty. We told her that only babies wear diapers, and she would have to wear one. Her response was, "Okay, Mommy!" and she ran to her room to grab one. I talked to Lynette (our beloved daycare lady) about this on Monday and she suggested that we go "cold turkey" - no more diapers except at nighttime. I explained to Avery that we wouldn't be wearing any more diapers. On Monday evening when she had an accident, we walked into the house to change and she said, "no diapers, no diapers." She knows that we mean business! Avery has been wearing her padded cotton training underwear and we keep extra pants on hand. We also got a waterproof pad for her carseat. She is only having 1-2 accidents a day. Last night at Kohl's she said she needed to go potty. We ran (literally) to the bathroom and she went! I'm so proud of our big girl!
