Diary of a SAHM: The Potty Prophesies

I am holding my breath, but I do believe our two year old is now (gulp) potty-trained! While trying not to get my hopes up, every day for the last 11 days, Chloe has pooped in the potty and worn big girl panties. I even (knock on wood) have been putting her down for her naps the last two days in them. That's right boys, NO DIAPERS!
It hit me after a couple days that this might really be it, so I packed up all her cloth diapers and covers (save just a few) and replaced them with Adaya's little ones in the diaper stacker. I am so amazed at how much less laundry I have to do now, and how infrequently the diaper pail fills up [insert heavenly chorus].
She still wears a disposable to bed and disposable pull-ups when we leave the house, and even though she will pee-pee in those still, she will also tell me that she has to go...even when we are out! Granted, we still have a few accidents every couple days, and I am prepared that when we go with panties full-time, even out of the house, they will still happen for several more months. Still, we are so proud of our little girl. [Sniff Sniff] She's growing up so fast!
After potty-training on and off for several months, I cannot believe how quickly she has caught on. It is definitely true when they say you cannot force them. They sure know best when they are ready! But I still just cannot believe it!
