Yeh, Uh Huh

1 year ago, learning how to walk

M is potty trained!  Approaching day 7 of underwear only days.  A few weeks ago we started to loosely follow some tips for getting the job done (and there was a well timed observation of her cousin taking care of business) but she pretty much did it on her own...  mid diaper change started asking for "fresh underwear"... started to say, "yeh, uh huh" when we asked did she want to use the potty... really digs the ritual of flushing, hand washing, etc.  On Friday I decided to quit daytime diapers unless she asked for one and she hasn't.  A friend recommended a great portable potty that fits in the stroller basket and she does her thing there or in public restrooms when we are out.


There are misses, of course, so it helps to have plenty of fresh underwear on hand.  I'm scrambling to find ones small enough to stay on her tush but 6-12 month diaper covers (like the one in this picture from a year ago) work just fine.


I'm embracing this effortless victory as the universe's way of giving a little back for the months (year +?) of sleep trials we endured.  Girl makes me so proud!
