No More Diapers!!! YAY! Marlee Grace is potty-trained!

We are so excited and happy to announce that Marlee Grace is potty trained during the day and at night too!!!  We are so proud of her!  We started potty-training on Monday January 7th since I knew we would be home most the of the week and she would basically run around the house naked and we would go to the potty every fifteen minutes or so.  She would wear a pull-up if we did travel anywhere and at nap time and night time.  She had accidents but that was okay, it was a process of learning.  She wouldn't tell me when she had to go so we would just go and sit and hope for something to happen.  After the first week of getting lots of praise, many Reese's cups, and doing the potty dance many times,  we knew our girl was getting the hang of it.  We got brave and let her travel in panties and she was only wearing pull ups at nap and night time.  After a few more days, we decided no more pull ups and that she would only wear panties from now on.  She can now tell us when she has to go and holds it if we are out and about.  She has even learned to pee pee in the grass...but only on special occasions when we are outside playing and she just cant wait to get inside to use the potty.  She has always been one to not pee much while she sleeps so we are blessed there and make many trips to the potty before she goes to sleep and she is doing great about not wetting the bed.  Fingers crossed this wonderful progress continues!  Our girl is truly growing up!
 
I love this cute little bootee, especially in her panties! :)
