After talking with my sisters and friends, I have decided no more diapers for Leland - somewhat cold turkey. We have been working for a few weeks on potty training and have finally had success. Chuck printed out a potty chart and taped it on the wall in the bathroom. Every time Leland goes potty she can put a sticker on her chart. If she fills the column she gets to watch "Cinderella" It has totally motivated her.
Yesterday she went most of the day with real panties on and only had 1 accident. Luckily while we were at home. Today she did great too. Only 1 small accident but she had a pull up on because we went sightseeing.
She is a princess fanatic so she picked out some princess panties at the store today. When Chuck put them on her he told her not to pee-pee on Sleeping Beauty and she responded "I not, because then I feel all wet." Something finally clicked in her head!
I know she will have accidents, but the past few days have been great. It was so nice today to not have to buy 2 different sizes of diapers.
Congratulations! No more diapers is a big step. The point of no return. (Is Leland over the trauma of the self-flushing toilets?)
