From Diapers to Panties........We hope!

Today is the day. The day to say good-bye to diapers and hello to panties. Okay, so maybe we won't say adios to diapers quite yet, but hopefully today begins our journey to the end of them. The potty was purchased many months ago when I was pregnant and disillusioned. I thought I could have Tayah trained before I gave birth to our second child, let's keep in mind that Tayah was only 22 months when Jamison was born, I really wasn't thinking to clearly. At least Tayah has had the time to get well acquainted with her potty. She actually became very excited when I told her she could run around without a diaper or pants on as long as she went on the potty when she had to go. Now it is very likely that it was the idea of running around half naked that excited her and not the potty but we'll just try and ignore that thought. I'm thinking that tomorrow we will go with wearing a sun dress, I went out to water the plants and out comes bare bottomed Tayah ready to help, I sent her back in the house to put on her shorts. Something must have got lost in translation because she quickly returned wearing rubber boots and no shorts. I gotta give the girl some credit though, we are always telling her she needs to put her shoes on before she can come outside, she usually doesn't have to worry about the shorts :)
Well, isn't this just perfect timing?! I was just about to write about how successful this whole potty training thing is going when I heard a little voice say "I'm peeing". Thankfully it happened on the kitchen floor and all that was required was some paper towel and a lysol wipe. I know, I know, expect that this will happen again and next time I may not be so lucky. We are prepared, along with a drawer full of new princess panties, a stack of reward treats in the cupboard, we also have a lifetime supply of paper towel in the basement, as well as carpet cleaner and lysol wipes which are ready and waiting to go into battle. Let the fun begin!
