We decided to follow the lesson plan outlined in the Lawson Handbook for Potty Training. As of today (and we'll see for how long, but hopefully all the time), Christine is wearing underwear!
A few weeks ago, I had read Bonnie's post and thought that maybe that's what it would take for Christine. It seems she's quite comfortable peeing in her pull-ups and doesn't mind being in them for a while - they are pretty dry to the touch after all. So shortly after reading the post, we went shopping and bought a ton of underwear - this was a couple of weeks ago. What really finalized our plans was the installation of the toilet (finally - and more on that in another post) in our new downstairs bathroom. No excuses (for me, not Christine!) now!
This morning was the day. When I pulled out a cute pair of underwear with little flowers on them, just like in her book "Cajoline et le petit pot", she said "non - Dora!!". She remembered that we had also bought some Dora underwear. So she got her Dora underwear. Hopefully she won't wear all of them today!
So, we'll see how it goes...

If I'm counting right, we only had 4 accidents today - and many successes (including a # 2). I think she forgot she was in underwear because she looked at the in surprise and said "pas couche!". We'll see how tomorrow goes. Sleep time will be in diapers for a little while yet.
Day # 2 update: Wow! How she improves quickly! She had one accident this morning, but she was in the bathroom trying to take her underwear down herself (refused help) and it took her too long, so she wet herself. The other was tonight, in the middle of dinner, she said she had to pee, and was just starting at the same time - she was able to stop and continued in the toilet after, so that's great! She even asked to do # 2 in the toilet again today. Hopefully she'll keep improving at that rate!! I don't look forward to being on my own the next couple of days though...
That's great work Christine!!!
Welcome to the world of dirty bathrooms! :)
