Ok, I'm going to call it: Paige is potty trained!
She had an accident on Thursday at daycare, but has been perfect at home since Tuesday. She's waking up by herself to go to the potty--sometimes in the morning, a few times in the middle of the night. And for the most part, we no longer need to prompt her to go to the bathroom--she just goes when she needs to go.
On Friday, she began wearing big kid underwear, and has been perfect so far. She has a full complement of Cinderella, Ariel, Belle, and other princess underwear, plus some Elmo that we haven't tapped into yet. She's pretty excited about it all, and it's amazing to see how much better she can run around when she's not wearing diapers.
We're still going to do training pants at night for a while, as there's no real rush for her to be perfect at night--we have a huge box or two of pull-ups anyway, and most of the time she's dry and so we get several days out of each of one. :)
The only real obstacle left is daycare. She still doesn't want to use the daycare potty, and we're going to let her use a little potty and/or potty seat for the next week or so. I think she'll get it. It's just a matter of being comfortable. As I was writing this, she did ask to sit on the big potty in her bathroom, which is a great step in the right direction.
All in all, she's doing exceptionally well. We're very proud of her!

This whole blog is awesome! I love the name- PB & J's- and both the girls are so beautiful! Thanks for taking the time to share all this with us. It's hard being so far away from you all that we don't really get to see your little ones as they grow. What a big step for Paige- amazing that she has made it with a new baby in the family, a typical time for even established pottying to regress to diapers. An additional big bonus is that it will make your life a lot easier with just one to diaper! Lots of rewards and praise, and patiently downplaying the inevitable accidents- that's the ticket! Congratulations to all on this milestone!
Love, Polly : )
Wonderful news! You must all be very relieved, and Paige must be very proud of this milestone accomplishment. I echo all of Polly's sentiments!!!!
Hugs!
