naomi's potty trained!



this is still in the spirit of catch-up, and a few months late.



naomi is completely potty-trained (at night, too), and that makes me so, so happy!  we started with introducing the froggy potty when she was about two.  she loved it, but wasn't ready to go all the time.  she would go occasionally, which was fine with me.



then, when we were all sick in september, i decided it was a good time to get serious about the whole business.  we were stuck at home anyway, so i decided to take advantage of the situation.  she ran around without any pants or underwear for a good two weeks - maybe more.  that's the best way i've found to help them recognize the need to go.  it seemed to work for her, anyway.  then, when we were better, she wore pullups when we'd leave the house.  i got tired of buying pullups (they're expensive!), and didn't buy any more when i ran out of the pack we were working on at the time.  she had stayed dry through the night a couple times, so i risked it.  quitting the pullups was completely worth it!  once she didn't have that safety net anymore, she didn't have any accidents.  fabulous!



good job, naomi!  we love you!
