I swore that I wasn't going to do potty training this summer. I had absolutely no interest in fighting that battle with my very spirited and strong-willed daughter if she wasn't absolutely ready. Well, I guess you can see where this is going. . .
Lily had the worse case of diaper rash I have seen on her upon our return from Canada. She has rarely had it. I mean I still have half of the tube of diaper cream that I bought before we brought her home from China 15 months ago. In my research on diaper rash, I discovered that babies in cloth diapers have a much lower incidence of diaper rash FYI :)
Everything I read said that the best way to get rid of it is to let them go bare-bottomed as much as possible. So that started Sunday morning (I did put her in a diaper for church). We held her over the big girl potty several times and she used it and had only 1 accident all day long. We headed to Wal-Mart for a little potty seat and some stickers for rewards.
She did GREAT Sunday and Monday - so much so - I bought her some princess underwear Monday night. Tuesday - no so good. Several accidents. I think she had a hard time with the underwear. Today, she had several #1 accidents, but has gone #2 consistently in the potty! She even went to the potty on her own, pulled her underwear down, went, and started cleaning up after herself before I even knew she was in the bathroom.
I had a REALLY cute video of her on the potty, but at the end she decided to lift her dress. Since I didn't want to embarrass her that much, you get only the picture.
