Lilly started going ‘pee on the potty’ back in January but these past few weeks her interest in potty training reached a new level. She has often refused to wear a diaper and has been using the potty more frequently. After talking to her doctor and teacher at school we decided to take potty training a bit more seriously to avoid the risk of her losing interest again (even though Mom wasn’t feeling 100% ready). Friday morning Lilly said ‘bye bye’ to her diapers and went bare bottom all weekend. She had two accidents Friday morning but other than that she quickly got the hang of things. We were surprised by how easy the whole event was for her – she was completely unphased by the change. Instead of spending hours on the potty like we were expecting, she would sit down, do her business, and quickly get off (she even went ‘poo on the potty’ for the first time ever on Saturday). She didn’t even fuss when I told her it was time to sit on the potty.

So for now we are leaving diapers and pull-ups off when she’s at home (pants only or bare bottom) and are using pull-ups for nap time, bed time, and when we leave the house for awhile (including school). She’s doing great using the potty at school while wearing pull-ups so in a week or so we will probably just switch to underpants. Can’t believe how fast our little girl is growing up!
