Great Progress!!

When I wrote last week, I told you that Olivia was now wearing "big girl undies". Here's the update. We have survived a full week. In the beginning I was wondering if we would but after just a few days, we saw progress. Here's how the week went.........

I'm sure I mentioned it sometime in the past but let me tell you, if Olivia doesn't take a nap, we all have a really tough afternoon. She's tired and cranky. On Saturday and Sunday she did not nap and she pretty much didn't even try to no wet her pants. Sunday night, we saw a little glimmer of hope when she really didn't like the feeling of the pull-up when we put it on before bed. (We're still doing pull-ups during the night but plan to end that soon.) Monday was better than Sunday......and as the week went on she got better and better. By Thursday, she was running to the potty on her own and making it there dry! Pooping was still an issue. For some reason, we couldn't get her to run to the bathroom before she poops....until today!! I don't know why she has or had issues with pooping on the potty but this morning, I got the best Mother's Day gift from her. She looked at me and said, "the poopy is going to come out". We ran to the potty and made it there before she pooped! Yahoo!!!!!

She is so proud of her big girl undies and we tell whoever we can that she's wearing them. I still can't get over how tiny she is without the bulk of the pull-ups. She's so skinny! We've survived going to swimming twice, gymnastics once, and several stores. We still have to work on little accidents during her nap (when she sleeps) and then bed time (but she has been dry for the past 3 mornings so I think we're going to brave big girl undies at night very soon). Hopefully pooping in her pants is a thing of the past.
