It's Potty time!!

Ali had shown a little interest in the potty for a few months but nothing that was a clear sign that says, "I'm ready!". Since she had a little interest I wanted to encourage her but not push. We decided to take the same approach with Ali as we did with Sofia. I went to the store and bought a big posterboard (although I could not find actual posterboard so it is just paper the size of posterboard) and made a potty chart. We stopped at a store and Ali picked out her stickers. We told her that whenever she wanted to pee on the potty we would put one sticker on her potty chart. She really didn't care. She knew it was there but had no interest in getting stickers or sitting on the potty. Well, two days ago that changed. On Friday she just decided, "i'm done with diapers and I'm going to pee on the potty. The only time she had a diaper on on Friday was during naptime and she only had one accident. On Saturday we took our daytrip to Kutna Hora so we put a diaper on her for the drive but she did an amazing job. She did pee once in her diaper during the day but that is it. On the drive home she was crying really hard which is unlike her so I asked her waht was wrong and she said her belly hurt. Jason pulled the car over and I got Ali out to do her "nature tinkle" and sure enough she had held her pee so long that her belly was hurting her. I couldn't believe she would actually hold it like that! Today we took another road trip and again she had one accident in her diaper but other than that she peed on the potty or had a nature tinkle. It is really just so odd to us that all of a sudden she decided she is done with diapers. We even have to fight with her to get them on for nap and bedtime. She says, "no pull up! Underwear!". I just hope this trend continues so that there will be no more diapers to deal with!!
