Last Thursday (9/26) after supper Jenna told us she had to use the potty, we humored her an put her on the potty and she surprised us by actually going to the bathroom! Since then she's been doing her best, and staying dry most days. She still wakes up wet from naps & in the morning after a good night sleep, but she seems to be on her way to wearing big girl underwear. We are very proud of her, and she seems to be very proud of herself too! We aren't positive, but we think the new baby at daycare is what kicked her potty training into high gear. The baby (Bella) started at Melissa's on Thursday, so it could just be a coincidence she decided to start using the potty on the same day, but we're not complaining. We've been letting her lead the way (besides she's so 'independent' it wouldn't work any other way). As part of her potty training I bought her Elmo socks, and told her if she went #2 in the potty she could have them....it worked. Here she is showing off her socks:
Update (10/8) I've been having her wear her 'big girl underwear' on Friday when I'm home with her and she's doing great. She loves being a big girl. She getting pretty good at pulling her pants up now too, since now of them stay up anymore :) With shorts it was easy since the 18 month stuff still fit pretty well, but with pants she needs the length of a 24 month (at times 2T) so they all fall down, even the ones with the adjustable waists!

We are sooo in the same boat with Emily on pants. She is wearing 18 month from last winter and they are falling off her waist, but 12 month are way too short. Why do they make adjustable waists so big??? Why not give us a few extra buttons for those skinny kids :)
