Big Day for Ryane

I dropped Ryane off this morning at day care in Training Pants. She insisted on putting on trainers rather than diapers, so Matthew and I let her have her way. She has been doing SO good in her potty-training lately. While she has just started to intermittenly tell us she has to go to the potty or just says potty and takes off for it herself, she generally does best if we keep asking/reminding her to use the potty. We can now trust her that if she says no, she doesn't have to go, she really doesn't. When she says yes, she goes! I want to think we are over 1/2 there to having her fully trained, but only time will tell.

So, I dropped Ryane off with Kathy with the disclaimer that she was wearing trainers. Ryane told Kathy she would tell her if she had to potty! :-) (She's so cute when she says say and no) Our provider is all for helping us out in the training process and I feel so blessed for it. She reported yesterday that Ryane used the potty all day until around 3 when she finally had an accident during snack time. We are looking forward to another great day from our Big Girl Ryane! So, please say a little prayer for Ryane today that she remembers to use the potty.

After writing this, I realize that Ryane is 19 months old today. Maybe she knew and that's why she was ready for trainers all day??? Genius kid! (just a touch biased)

Update: The day didn't go so well for Ryane - darn it! It was reported she'd pottied in 3 pairs of trainers before 11am. She doesn't usually pee that much, so it must have been an extra pee pee kind of day for her. Oh well, at least we tried. I knew better than to post anything about potty-training as it would jinx us!
