All week Cassidy's been in a diaper for school and in and out of a diaper at home. When we are home, even if she has a diaper on, she asks to use the potty and stays dry. At school, she'll sit on the potty, but still pees/poos in her diaper.
Yesterday when I picked her up, we used the school potty before getting in the car as part of our new routine. She peed! In the school potty!
This morning she requested a diaper. Then after breakfast, she asked to sit on the potty. We took her diaper off and she sat for a while. When she was done, I asked if she wanted to wear a diaper or "big girl underwear" to school. SHE CHOSE UNDERWEAR!
School report:
1 pee in the potty in the morning!
diaper for nap
underwear after nap
they noticed she was holding it again and asked her to use the potty. No luck. So they offered a diaper to which she said yes and immediately peed in.
0 accidents
Baby steps, but at least we're moving forward!
Home:
1 pee on the potty seat
1st pee on the big potty!!!!!
0 accidents
More practice this weekend!

The Potty Chronicles: Weekend Update
Saturday:
4 pees in the potty
1 accident while having a tantrum over not being with mommy who was
resting in bed
0 poos in the potty, 1 in the diaper
Sunday:
3 pees in the potty
1 poo in the potty
Whenever given the choice, Cassidy still chooses a diaper over underwear. She chooses to use the small potty seat rather than the seat on the toilet 100% of the time. She'll sit on the seat on the toilet, but has yet to make a deposit there.
We're going with diapers at school for a little while, and continuing to practice the potty at home. Hopefully she'll warm up to the toilet idea soon so we can try again with the big potty at school.

Learning Her Manners
Cassidy says:
She's learning to finish chewing before speaking.
She's learning to ask politely before helping herself to someone else's plate or drink.
She's saying "Thank you for ........." with only a light prompting of "do you have something to say
to Nana and Papa?" (Tonight she said, "Thank for park and horsies," after their
post daycare trip to the park to ride the carousel.)
We are working on:
- Thank you
- Excuse me
- Please
- Bless you

We are working on:
- Excuse me after burping or tooting
- Getting that darn finger out of her nose --not a problem except when she's congested, which seems to be ALL THE TIME.
- Putting her boogies into a tissue instead of her mouth --YUCK!
- Learning appropriate behaviours for home versus in public (for example, pulling down mommy's clothes to see freckles, or nipples, or belly buttons, or underwear, etc.)
- Drinking at mealtimes without spitting our milk or juice all over the table just so she can wipe it up with the napkin.
- Tipping our plate over when we are done eating rather than pushing it gently away and saying "all done".
