Piper is Potty Trained

We did it!!! Piper is potty trained. What is so interesting about potty training Piper is that she basically did it herself. Johnny and I hardly had to push her to do it. With Pennington we had to work with him a lot but not with Piper. Piper was just very insistent that she no longer wears diapers and only wears underwear. I will say that she isn't potty trained at night and if her nap is longer than say 2 hours she will have an accident. I actually have to beg her to wear a pull-up or diaper at night. I tried just letting her wear underwear to bed at night but after about the 3rd night of having to wash sheets I said screw it and made Piper wear a pull-up. I wouldn't be surprised if Piper has to wear a diaper or pull-up at night for another 6 months or so. She just doesn't seem to be ready to wear underwear at night. This is 180 degree difference from Pennington. When we finally got Pennington potty trained we realized we just had to take the diapers away all together even at night.

I have to say it is so awesome not to have to buy diapers or bring diapers with me everywhere. I feel like I have a whole new freedom. I will say that you never know when they will have accidents even though they are potty trained. You never want to get to comfortable and decide you don't need backup clothes in case they have an accident. Pennington has been having at least one accident everyday lately. Boy I hope this phase goes away soon.

Overall I am really proud of my little girl. She basically potty trained herself. Love you little Miss Piper.
