Emily is FINALLY Potty Trained!



I almost forgot to tell the wonderful news!!

Here is how it FINALLY happened!
For about 6 months now I have been telling Emily that we'll go to Chuck-e-cheese when she wears panties and no more diapers! Well it stuck... she always said: "i get to go to chuck-e-cheeses when I have panties!"
So about 3 weeks ago we were watching Jordan and Danielle and the idea of going there for a night of FUN! :) came up, as soon as Emily heard that she ran inside the house and changed into Panties! And has not been in a diaper since (other than at night). I guess she just associated it so much with wearing panties that, that's all she needed! So now I look back and wonder if all those times she said: "i go to chuck-e-cheeses when I have panties?" Was really her way of asking me if she could be big and wear panties, like in her little mind she was wondering if the time had come when she could wear panties and be big... but I kept saying: "Yeah, when you wear panties we'll go!" So she kept on waiting! Hmmm.... I guess I'll never know, but I am just elated that it worked and that she is doing SO great! Hardly has accidents at all!! 3 yrs 3 months! And now we only have to buy one set of diapers!!

Seriously- Congratuations!!! I wish I could get Leah interested in potty training. Two in diapers isn't very fun or cheap.
