Princess Pull Ups

Ally has been very serious about this potty training business for quite a while now. I had sort of assumed that our vacation would have slowed her progress but she has gone full steam ahead pretty much all on her own. She tells us when she needs to go potty at home, uses the potty regularly at day care and just last week started using the potty when we are in public places. She has two different styles of seats at home- her own singing potty chair in the downstairs bathroom and the potty seat that fits over the regular toilet upstairs. She has shown preference for the seat but I'm not sure if that's because it has Elmo on it or it is just more comfortable for her. Her progress at this age has just amazed us but we are taking advantage of it! On our trip to target last week, we invested in some princess pull ups for her. They are much easier for her to take on and off herself and gets her used to the concept of how underwear will work. Genius idea if you ask me. She absolutely loves them! Right now she is using the pull ups during the day and regular diapers at night until we get to the point where we aren't taking off wet diapers/pull ups. We also picked up some big girl underwear (Disney princess variety) so we are going to start testing out those in the evenings at home and see how she does. She is by far ahead of most of her classmates at school but I think the exposure to kids going to the bathroom at school is really what got her going so early. At this rate we may be diaper free by age 2.

Ally gets very excited about putting on a new pull up so I had to take this picture right when she woke up the other day. Her hair is so wild!
