So we are potty training!
Olivia has been doing superb at daycare with her potty training. She goes about 5 times a day at Barb’s and comes home to me ‘pottied out’.
I don’t know about you other Mom’s but I am so against ‘Pull Ups’ – for no particular reason, I just have it in my mind that they are the potty training devil – do I think they serve a purpose, hell ya – will we be using them for car rides & outings at the mall, for sure – but for all intensive purposes we will be using cloth & vinyl! No offense to those that love ‘em. But in my opinion Pull Ups make it far too comfortable to be called a potty training ‘aid’. She’s pees & poops and could care less, just like a diaper. They nicely wick away the water, warms up (like a diaper) & away she goes! So we (we as in ME) decided to try out the ‘training undies’ this weekend.
(Side Note: Of course EVERY SINGLE STORE is sold out of the vinyl covers so I ordered some online today! Well I will be ordering some online today…after I read the millions of reviews out there on the many vinyl potty training pants they have available now. I think I have my mind set on the
‘Potty Patty’ brand. They are similar to the Gerber brand, but have better reviews & better ‘life expectancy’. There are so many cool ‘all in one’ models similar to a cloth diaper that look so appealing, yet have crappy reviews of leakage (ew!) and poor life expectancy through washings….so we are going old school, just like my Momma trained me, in padded undies & vinyl covers! )
Anyway….we tried out the training undies this weekend….and we had 2 accidents which is bound to happen. Once in her bedroom…and once when I ‘forgot’ that she only had them on and we were rushing out of the house to head to lunch at the Mall…needless to say a puddle on booth seat and $30.00 later of new clothing we were set to shop! Sigh.
I guess Olivia & I are potty training together! Soon we are going to be a great team!
