Potty Training Boot Camp

Yesterday, I tried a Potty training boot camp for Jena. That is, a day in nothing but underwear. I've done this before, let's face it I've tried it all. But after about 4 hours, Jena would be wet or worse, crying and begging for a pull up. She does okay in the pull ups, about 75% of the time she goes. But she has not wanted to wear underwear too much. And lately she has been getting lazy, only going potty after she has already gone in the pull up.

So yesterday I asked her is she wanted to try the underwear and she said yes. Major turning point! I'd have to say, despite the 6 pairs of underwear we went through yesterday, it was a success. She went through about 4 pairs by lunch, but after that she only went through 2 until bed time. And, today she asked if she could wear them to school! Victory! I'm not sure how she will do today but she usually does pretty good at school. So, I sent her to school with an extra set of clothes to supplement the set she already has there. And let her teachers know that we were flying without a pull up on. So, we will see how it goes. No calls yet from the school, so far so good.

So, keep your fingers crossed. We have been going at this for over a year now and it has been a struggle. But we just keep plugging along and maybe soon I won't have to buy two sets of diapers anymore.
