Blue training diaper

Monique sent Julia a 2 layer fleece training diaper. Same as the ones I make minus the soaker bit. Idea being that Julia can take it off easier than regular panties but it will still preserve her modesty and let her feel wet.

So I was trying to take her photo wearing it so I could send it on to Monique to thank her for the gift and ended up capturing a whole potty sequence instead.

First, Julia sitting on me in the pastel blue training diaper.

She was already starting to yank at the tabs so I let her off my lap and watched to see what she would do. Julia first got the tabs off and got naked. She was also searching the floor for the potty.

She started to pee on the floor and grabbed her crotch and (a first!) STOPPED peeing on the floor while looking down at the puddle. She found the potty and started to hit it.

We've been leting her play with an empty U-haul box and the potty was too close to it for her to sit on. Julia was hitting it to try to get it out I guess. So I had to move it further away from the box. Once it was out she stood up and sat on it....

.. and to my surprise finished peeing IN THE POTTY!

When I looked up from taking the picture she had taken both the training diaper and one of the clean purple ones and threw it into the box!

If she's going to start throwing the diapers away after she pees then I'm going to start bringing the diaper pail out with the potty into the living room when we play there. She can learn to put it in the right box and not just any old box that happens to be nearby.

I'm THRILLED for her -- this is def. her month for potty training! I have no idea how she's going to surprise me tomorrow.
