Potty Training recap

Edie had her first day of daycare today since potty training. I assumed things would be too exciting for her to avoid at least one accident (especially when I learned this morning that Jen had a brand new, gigantic twisty slide in her backyard installed over the holidays) and therefore wasn't surprised when I picked her up to see she was wearing her back-up pants. But Jen quickly informed me that she was only wearing her back-up pants because she'd gotten her other pants wet while playing with the water table! So proud.

Edie spent the weekend with my parents while Jeff and I had a fantastic weekend in Portland for his birthday. She had a few accidents over the weekend, so I was a little (overly) worried that we might have taken a step back in the potty training department. But she hasn't had any accidents since we came back on Sunday evening.

I have constant reminders of how grown up she is when I notice how tiny her rump looks in pants, when I pick her up and feel her butt instead of a big diaper, and when I need to do laundry even more often to make sure she has 2-3 pairs of big girl underwear clean each day, JIC. Her quick adaptation to potty training is making me think about graduating Edie to a twin bed. I had planned to delay this decision a bit longer, but am now finding myself trawling Craigslist each night for a cute twin bed frame.
