Doesn’t the image say it all? (Don’t judge the picture by the quality… it was taken with my iphone) Sometimes we are just so busy we don’t have time to sit and work– we take advantage of our other time and work. Lilly apparently had a lot of emails to respond to and blog postings to read.
Speaking of potty time…
It’s going VERY well! I am really impressed with how my baby has adapted and learned so quickly. We went from her running around naked to putting on big girl panties (I still have to pull them down) and now we’re able to leave the house… well somewhat lol. On the first day I had to say “go potty!” and she would go. Yesterday and today I don’t need to say anything– she just runs over to the potty and goes.
There were no accidents which were HER fault yesterday… but we did have one.. right in the middle of Babies R Us… oops sorry :(. She kept saying “peepee” but we were by the potties and looking at the panties .. then she looked down and said “uh oh”… so she WAS trying to tell me I just wasn’t listening 🙁
Daddy had her for a few hours so I could go shoot an engagement session at the beach (omg wait till you see the pictures… amazing) and she did everything without being told… pee and poop and all. Horray!
I did buy her a travel potty to keep in the car and in the stroller so if she has to go, I can whip out the seat and she can go. Oh and I got a piddle pad for her car seat & stroller. I’m nervous to drive more then 7 minutes with her lol
So here’s a question (please respond under “comments” vs. emailing me on facebook so everyone here can read your advice)… at what point do people suggest I can leave her alone in the living room for 10 minutes so I can shower? I can’t leave her alone in there because if she goes to pee, she will try to dump it on her own… or play in it knowing her. Today I put a diaper on her (I know… bad) and went to shower and came back and she was dry… she said peepee and I took it off and she went in the potty.
I don’t want to have to keep resorting to diapers when I will be away from her for a certain extent of time?
THANK YOU!! Once again, I am amazed people read these personal things about me 🙂 But if you know me at all, you know I don’t hold much back…

Adorable picture!
Whenever we didn’t want to leave our little ones alone while we shower, we would take them into the shower with us. The bonus is they get clean too! If you’re not comfortable with that, you could take a few toys into the bathroom so that she can play while you shower.
Also, you probably already realize this, but…once we stopped using diapers they were never used again! Yes, sometimes that did mean more work for me, but it ensured that there was no excuse for reverting back to diapers.
Sounds like you’ve got success! Keep up the great work!
