I’m totally dragging this morning! Glad I don’t have anything “pressing” early this morning. Delaney woke up at midnight and took herself to the potty (YAY) and of course there was a big ruckus in the house over it! Unfortunately, it was hard to fall asleep after that! She was dry again when she woke up this morning too…that’s about 4 mornings out of the past week.

She’s been dry most of the time during the day lately. She’s even started taking herself to the potty sometimes instead of me having to prompt her all the time.

We’ve ventured out in public a few times without a diaper. Most of the time I make sure she’s got the plastic training pants covers over top of her thick training panties. The last time we went out to the library (Monday), I did just per her “Dora” panties on her and leave it at that. I knew we were only going to be gone about an hour and she went to the potty right before we left, so I felt pretty confident. She did great!

I know I posted about this already today, but I ust wanted to update. Delaney has done so well today. Other than a poop accident, she has been dry all day. Several times I had to ask her to sit on the potty, but several times she told me she needed to go. I’m so proud!

I’m hoping I don’t jinx anything, but at this point, Delaney is doing pretty well with her potty training. (But I’m not ready to take her out in public yet without a diaper on by any means!) Brianna got up with her this morning and put underwear on her. She stayed dry while I got myself showered and dressed and made “big breakfast”. About 2 1/2 hours after she got up (I heard them get up even though I didn’t get out of bed right away) I had her sit on the potty. She peed. I think she may be getting the hang of controlling her bladder muscles and “releasing” when she sits on the toilet. I know it’s a process and it will take a little getting used to for her.  For instance, last night she said she needed to go potty and was even doing the “bounce” thing. So, I ran her really fast to the potty. She sat on it for 15 minutes and … nothing. So, she got up and about 15 minutes later I had a mess to clean up! But, she’s making an honest effort, and I know she’s really trying to “get it”.
