Amélie is in the process of deciding whether she still wants to wear diapers or not... Some days she absolutely wants one, some days, she claims being a big girl and wants to wear undies... We oblige and tell her how proud we are that she is now a big girl when she wants to wear undies without diapers, and go completely overboard with expressions of joys when she uses the potty for #1 or #2! Of course, some days, we have a lot more stinky laundry as a result...
One day this week, Amélie asked me to put a diaper and an undie on in the morning, so I did. When we went to pick her up at the end of the day, her teacher told us that when she had her diaper changed in the morning, she said to him: "No more diapers for me!"... So her teacher obliged. Back in her classroom, Amélie proclaimed: "I am a big girl now, no more diapers for me!"
All the kids in her class apparently cheered and each of the kids went to give Amélie a big hug... Her teacher said he had never seen this happen before! That day, Amélie used the potty 4 times during the day, and had no accident, so there is hope...
She is still going back and forth with the diaper thing, and having accidents, but hopefully she will be potty trained before she has to write her college essays... On Friday, her teacher told us that she spent 45 minutes on the potty, which is the longest time Amélie has been in one spot since she was able to roll over at 5 months, so we consider that a great step in the right direction!
