Three years, nine months and three weeks
But who’s counting?
Not Me.
I believe we’re past the jinxing phase so it’s safe to talk about.
Chee is potty trained.
Halfway.
She’s housebroken only. We’re still working on going IN the potty and not next to it at school, and being willing to use random potties while we’re out and about (rather than waiting till buckled into the van after leaving Costco).
It started Sunday when I flippantly asked her if she’d like to wear undies instead of a pullup. And she not-flippantly said, Yes, please. (As an aside, she’s really into yes, please. Anything that warrants a yes answer gets yes, please. For example, Chee, did you play outside at school today? And she says, yes, please. I find this cute. And awfully polite.)
Sunday she had equal measure of accidents and successes.
On Monday, she was accident free at home. Same with Tuesday. Same with Wednesday (almost).
She’s got it down. There’s no prompting from me. She just goes when she needs to go. And then hollers for me to come take a look. (Nice language there, too, huh?)
I was so happy Monday I wanted to cry.
We still have some work to do (no need to get completely naked to use the potty, for example), but the fact that we are where we are makes a little random nudie-ness nothing to even blink about.
Ess, honey, you’re next.
We are going to be a diaper free house soon and very soon.
Yay!
Congrats!
Congratulations!!!! I remember how difficult that was with the Tongginator. I felt like I had won first place in a marathon. And the stripping down to the skin thing may take awhile. LOL. The Tongginator still does that on occasion.
My daughter’s five, and though she has most of it down pat, she still sometimes starts pulling her pants off in the living room and running to the potty with them around her ankles. Interesting when company’s over, but at least she’s out of the completely-naked phase!
oooh, i’m so jealous, in a completely-happy-for-you way! we hit four in about a week, and no end of diapers in sight.
Well GO CHEE! That’s awesome! Yippee! Really, that’s truly incredible at her age. Very impressive. The not-naked part will come. Not sure when, really, because we’re still in the naked phase.
Good work, Momma!
