No more diapers for me!

I don't know how many people have seen Potty Power. But that is the song they sing. We have been working and working on Sweet Pea to try to get her to go on the potty but she either refuses or just sits there and does nothing. Fortunately we have a sitter who is very willing to help potty train. The past 2 weeks if she goes potty at the sitters, she gets to put underwear on. The first week she just proceeded to have accidents. But last week she only had one and came home friday in underwear. That was when she sat on the potty for daddy and didn't go then 10 minutes later hid behind a chair and peed all over the place. Boy was he mad!
But she came home in underwear last night and went twice on the potty. Yay! I see the light at the end of the tunnel. How nice for our budget to not have to buy diapers.
Along the same lines. Son rarely sleeps through the night without going in his pullup. We have been waking him up before we go to bed in hopes it would leave him dry in the morning. It worked at first and then he must have adapted and now wakes up wet, although less wet than before. But at Grandma's over the week, he fell asleep on her couch and slept all night without having an accident and he stayed dry in his pullup the next night. So last night we braved it and since he was doing it, Princess wanted to do it as well. (not quite as scary as she often wakes up dry but when we attempted this before she had accidents every night and freaked out because she was wet so we stopped). They both woke up dry!! Yay! Now I really see the light at the end of the tunnel, no more diapers, no more pullups. I can't wait.
Of course, this was only one night but I am going to attempt it all week. It is spring break and son doesn't have to go to school so what better time to do it. Hopefully he will be night trained by his birthday next month.
