The past few days, has been blissfully (appropriate to use that term here?) nice. I've been living in a fantasy world, because our little Micron has managed to keep her pull-ups dry by pooping and peeping in the potty. EVERY TIME. I feel like I'm living in some kind of parallel universe where the stars and cosmos have aligned to make this potty training transition so smooth. I don't feel like I should stay in this universe too long, because I might jinx it. I guess it all feels so surreal because I had not intended to potty train her anyway.
A week ago, I had run out of diapers one afternoon and all I had left were some extra princess diapers that my girlfriend had given me after her daughter was potty-trained. I used them on Micron and immediately she took a liking to them. Imagine my disbelief. This is a girl that rarely likes anything 'pink.' I explained to her that she can only use these "princess diapers" if she does her dirty deeds in the potty. That somehow started the ball rolling, but I wasn't even consistent in using the pull-ups. After she did that miraculous peeing/pooping 5x in a row (I wrote about it here), she was back in diapers and was off/on diapers and pull-ups. Well, after using the leftover pull-up stash, I decided recently, I'd give it a half-hearted try again by buying some pull-ups and telling Micron she only gets to use these special diapers if she goes poop/pee in the potty. Fast forward to the last four days and my little girl has IMPROVED DRASTICALLY!!
