Potty Training

So, yeah. We're kind of trying to potty-train R. So far it's going... oooo.kaaay.

We bought her her first underpants last week, and Grandma sent some training underpants, which are excellent because they are more absorbent than her underpants.

At school, R's teachers report that she's great about using the potty and doesn't seem to have a lot of accidents. She has both pull-ups and underpants at school, and I think, wears them both (pull-ups or diapers for naptime) throughout the day.

At home, she's been awesome about using the potty in the morning (although not the last couple of mornings) as well as before/after bathtime (although not the last couple of days).

I'm not sure how strongly we're going to push the potty training right now though because everything I've read suggests that there will be regression once the baby is born (I'm less than 6 weeks away from my due date, yikes!). Mostly we're trying to take advantage of what seemed to be her own interest in potty training, and let her practice using the potty and recognizing potty cues.

All I'll say is that this weekend has been kind of a bust. I feel like we're cloth-diapering again-- with a slew of peed-in underpants and two pairs of poopy underpants in the wash right now. This isn't a huge deal at all, just labor-intensive and somewhat confusing, because sometimes she's great about saying, "I need to use the potty" and other times she, well, isn't.
