Could this be it...
We have really been working hard at getting Sophia completely potty trained. She has been partially potty trained since November (with #2) and has had a little trouble sensing when she needs to go tinkle. Well, lately I have been putting her in cloth underwear when we are at home and a pull up when we are out and about. I ask her quite frequently if she needs to go potty and even if she says no, I still have her try. She is getting better and better about telling us that she needs to go potty and making it to the toilet before she goes in her pants. The last few nights around bed time, Jeff would rock her, put her in her bed and she would fall asleep. Then after about a half hour she would stand at the top of the stairs saying, "potty mommy". So we would run to the toilet and she would go! Then she would go to bed and again she would say she needed to go potty, so I would pick her up and put her on the toilet. And again, she would go. I wasn't sure if she was just going a little each time to stall or if she was becoming so sensitive to the feeling of needing to go, that she would want to go every time! After three times of doing this, I would rock her once again and she would finally fall asleep for the night. On Friday morning after she woke up, I told her before we played or ate breakfast, she needed to try to go potty and we needed to change her wet pull up. Well to my surprise, her pull up was completely dry! She had gone through the entire night without going potty in her pants! I couldn't believe it and was so extremely proud of her! She grinned from ear to ear when I told her how proud I was of her and I took her to the store to get big girl underwear. She picked out her very own big girl undies and has been wearing them since. I'm sure she will still have accidents every once in a while until her body and mind get the timing down completely. But I am really hoping that when we go camping in July, I will only be taking one set of diapers for little Peyton. I can't believe what a BIG, independent girl Sophia is becoming and I am so proud of her!!!
