potty training

i'm going to say this very, very quietly so as not to jinx the situation...so, listen very carefully! :)

natalia has been in "big girl undies" during the day for two days - without any accidents! :)

we've tried on a few occasions to get her to potty train...she just wasn't interested at all. and, she didn't seem to get it. so, we waited.

on saturday morning, on a whim, i asked her if she wanted to wear her big-girl-dora-undies. she didn't scream and stomp in protest, so we tried it. we did what a friend suggested when we were potty training jameson and set the timer for every couple of minutes to "try" to go. she didn't pee for a couple hours of that...but then eventually did on the potty with no problems. then, she was playing in the living room while i was in the kitchen (jim and jameson were having guy-time outside)...suddenly she says, "i have to go poopies." and, marches her little self right to the bathroom. as i get there she's ready for me to put her on the throne. she squeezed out those little turds and was SO proud of herself! i was darn proud as well! :)

today went much the same (minus the poo...seems today was an off day?). no accidents or incidents to speak of. of course, we were quarantined to the house because i dare not take her out in public yet. i don't trust that she'll tell me when it really matters - like in the laundry detergent aisle of walmart. i'm sure not complaining, though! (it's cold out there again, anyway.)

man, i sure hope it's really this easy! ok, now shhhhhhhhh...and i'm going to knock on wood...
