"I'm A Big Girl Now!"

My baby is potty trained...at least during the day!  Finally!  I have tried several times in the past few months and this time she got it!  I am not one to work on potty training for days or weeks at a time.  I find when my kids are ready, they "get it" by the second day...and that was the case with Raina as well.  She is so very proud of herself and loves the 2 chocolate chips she gets as a reward.  She loves wearing her big girl "unaware" and wants to wear them at bedtime as well...and she does...with a diaper underneath.  ;)

I'm really hoping this will help with the many soaked sheets I've been dealing with.  Every night I make sure Raina is wearing 2 diapers.   But, at least two or three times a week she has soaked through both diapers and her PJs...and that makes for a LOT of laundry!   I finally bought  the rubber pants for cloth diapers and that works well.  When Raina first began soaking her bed I thought the diapers I was buying were simply not as good a quality as I thought.  I even complained to Huggies and they sent me an apology and a coupon for a free box of diapers and some other coupons as well.  I eventually realized the diapers were not at fault.  Rather, her boots n' bar are at fault.  Because of them Raina sleeps on her back and does not move around a lot.  Therefore, everything collects at the back and soaks through...oops!  I feel kind of bad for complaining...
