For the first time since December of 2001, I will not be changing any diapers! I can't believe it really. And I am certainly not ready for it. It is no secret that I want another baby. So for this feat, I am a bit sad. Not happy at all.The funniest part of this transition for my baby girl is that I did not push her in any way to potty train. I was happy to have her in diapers. Really, it did not bother me one little bit. I was happy to cart around diapers in my handbag. I was happy to change her little diapers. But baby girl would have no part of diapers for quite awhile. I would put them on her, she would take them off and insist on using the toliet. I would put another dipaer on her and tell her to just got potty in her diaper and she would refuse.Around baby girl's second birthday, I bought her some 'big' girl panties. Although they are not big at all because she is so slim . . . do you know how hard it is to find size 1T panties for children? At home, she was in her new underwear. But out and about I didn't want to risk it and put her in pullups. At night as well, I put a diaper on her. Really it was just a waste because she had been dry for months and months at night, all night long. I put her on the toliet as soon as she woke up from her second birthday on.Who would know that potty training would be so easy? Really I have not had issues with potty training any of my children. Consistancy is key! Too bad momma was not 100% on board this time!
We are officially potty trained, since the first of November.
Now what will I put in my big handbags that I love to carry around?

That is awesome that you are diaper free (even though I know you miss it). PT was a nightmare with my daughter and I am hoping that it is easier with my son. He just turned two in December. He goes several times a day on the toilet but is far from being diaper free. My daughter was waking up dry in the morning but in the past week she has woken up REALLY wet every day.
Congrats! I'm sure you will be saving a lot of money now! Sorry they grow up so fast :(
Would it be too weird if you carried a few pairs of her big girl panties around in your bag? Just to make it through the diaper-less transition? :)
I think it's wonderful.... I am sure there are a TON of parents out there who are jealous over the easy potty training transition! All I hear are the nightmare stories.
And who knows, you could be changing diapers again in about a year!
I am so lazy about potty training- we are actually taking steps backwards here. Ahhhhhhh!!!!
Congrats to you though. I'm jealous!!
Look at how cute she is in her undies!! My girls are skinny too and the undies that fit best for us are the Elmo undies and Hanes brand. I bought them at Target. They are size 2T-3T.
These are the cutest photos ever! Your little girl knows how to work a pair of heart underwear!!! What a cutie!
You are truly blessed to have such easy-to-potty-train kids. I have a girlfriend who is still battling tooth and nail with her daughter (who is 4). I think the key is just to not worry about it and let them decide with no pressure.
And I suggest chocolate for your handbag ... can never hurt to have emergency chocolate!
COngrats! I have always thought that potty training was the toughest part of parenting. I love your photos, super cute!
What a cute little pose...she is adorable!
What a cute little pose...she is adorable!
She's so cute in her big girl panties. I remember having a hard time finding small enough panties for my girls too. And, like you, I was blessed with exceptionally easy potty training children! :)
Yay...I loved it when my oldest was potty trained - I sure hope it goes as smooth with the second one for me!

Hah! What a cutie in her fancy pants!
Ok, if you aren't happy about being diaper free then you are in serious need of another baby!!
She is certainly a diaper free cutie pie!
That is good. I did the same thing with Hayden. I didn't push him to potty train, I let him to do when he was ready. I say if they are potty trained by kindergarden then life is good.
SOOOO cute! I also love the picture below... :)
CONGRATS to both of you! James and I were dancing in the store when we passed the diapers and we didn't have to buy a package.
She is adorable in her new big girl panties!
Woohoo for you both! And how cute is she? Good grief! :o)
I'm thinking you need to buy yourself something super snazzy to fill up that big handbag...a graduation present of sorts. And something GOOD!
Congrats! That is quite an accomplishment! She definitely looks proud!
I am SOOOOOO jealous. AJ will be 3 an is only about at 50%. It is totally my fault I fear. Your daughter is beautiful.
Congrats and HOW CUTE is she in her heart pants!!!! Adorable!
Great shots. That is so awesome. I love her big girl panties:) Happy WW..
That is awesome! Can you telepathically send me some of your fab potty training mojo my way! My daughter is still not all that interested. Love the Valentine inspired big girl panties! She's so cute!
I'm so jealous. Shiloh turned two in September and she's been mostly potty trained for months, but she's still not consistant. I'm so ready to be done with diapers. The preschool that I want her to go to won't take her until she's potty trained, so I'm getting impatient.
I'm so jealous! I wish I knew your secrets, because I don't think baby girl is anywhere near ready!
I shouted from the rooftops when my youngest was finally trained!!! Congratulations:-)
Congrats!!! That's awesome news - way to go! She is lookin' pretty cute in her big girl undies too :-) Perhaps you can carry around some really cute shoes in your handbags now??? ;-)
WooT! YAY!!
Now can she come teach my toddler? He has no interest in it right now. As far as he's concerned the potty is for pushing it closer to the bathroom sink so he can "wash" his hands AKA splash in the sink.
She looks so proud in her big girl panties!
You're too funny, but think of all the new bags you buy with the cash you are saving on diapers. :)
Congratulations! Very cute pictures! I am afraid I am years from this.
First of all, adorable photos. Secondly, congrats on no more diapers. What a relief, huh? Happy WW.
Look at her cute little heart-clad bootie! : )
Congrats on no more diapers (even if you weren't "for" it!)
I think I need some tips from you because potty training here was no picnic and I gotta do it again! ACK!
Awwww, what cute big girl panties. Congrats on no more diapers.
love those hearts! wht a cutie!
I know you're sad to see your youngest baby grow up, but I have to agree with the commenters before me: think of the money you're going to save! Diapers aren't cheap. (Your baby girl is adorable with her little curls! I'm envious!)
Happy WW!

wow, that is awesome that potty training was so easy! she looks so darling striking those model poses!
What an adorable picture. Now you can take up knitting and haul around tons of yarn in the big old bags.
She looks so proud of her underwear!
PTing my boy was sooo easy and sooo early. His younger sister however...i thought she would never get it. Mind you she loved panties, but she loved soiling herself more.
I am glad it was easy for you, but I am sad you are not ready.
I am so jealous of you right now. My post is on the same topic however it did not come as easily in our house :)
She is adorable in her big girl panties.
they sure sell cute designs for kids underwears. congrats!!!
congratulations to you both.
(it takes a team!)
Congrats! Love the panties.
I'm an old fart's wife y'know...our 1st born is gonna be 40 and our youngest grandchild is 13...I was ever so happy to not have another diaper in the house nor having to change our grandson....it's a life's blessing if you ask me. LOLOLOL
Like I said...old fart I am.
My Wordful is an update on Winston's Ladybug stool. Come on over if you can, I so love visitors and their comments!!! Happy day to you.
Diaper free is the way to be!
As I prepare for our new little one and realize I will have three in diapers, I wonder if I am insane BUT really it is okay ... I dislike potty training and believe if you wait it is easier.
Congrats to the little one, hugs to you and best wishes on your hopes for another.
A magical WW to you!
Awww-we too have been potty trained for awhile BUT since we had some major #2 issues Im still struggling with THAT.
Im so happy for you....and way to little girl!!
Thanks so awesome! I can't wait till Noel potty trains! She will be two in a month and I am so pushing this :)
Yay for your little one!! I found after diapers in my bag..it has become decoy toys in my bag. Tried to down size..Nope not happening!!
Wow! I can only hope potty-training comes that easily in our household! Cute pic. :)
That picture is the cutest. It made me smile for the 1st time today! Here's to hoping you get to change diapers in the future!
That's great that she was so willing. Sounds like the typical scenario of the child doing the opposite of what you want!
