Last weekend we tried a cold-turkey approach to potty training Maggie. No diapers, only panties. Didn't work out so well. So we spent the week reading picture books about bodily functions and how super duper proud the characters are of their ability to stop peeing themselves. All week long I could see little Maggie's gears turning, a little light bulb going on and off in her head each time I read one of these disgusting books. Then yesterday she found the clincher... she found... the Minnie Mouse panties. "Mama, mama, mama, MAMA! Minnie!!!!!" she screamed as she removed her pants and diaper all by herself in the middle of the living room. For the rest of the day she wore her Minnie panties, and didn't have an accident until about an hour before bedtime. Minnie panties are Magical!
So today we thought we'd give it another shot. Maggie decided it was a good day for "Ooh Ooh, Ahh Ahh," panties (monkey panties... you know, monkey's say ooh ooh ahh ahh). But we never got that far. As she was gallivanting around our bathroom butt-nekkid she suddenly got that special feeling, ran straight for her potty chair AND peed in it! Woo Hoo! That kicked off a whole day of naked-baby-butt potty training and the end result was NO ACCIDENTS! Every time she felt the urge she yelled "Poo poo! Poo poo!" and everyone ran to the potty. I can't believe she made it every single time. Looks like we're well on our way to being diaper free!
