Claire's still doing an awesome job with the panties. Just thought I'd share a funny story or two ...
Accident-wise, we've had very few. There was an incident one night where I could hear Claire saying, "Daddy, I have to pee-pee. Daddy, I have to pee-pee. Daddy, I have to pee-pee." but since I was putting Gavin down for the night, I didn't want to start screaming, "James! She has to pee-pee!" James was on the phone and didn't hear her, so the next thing I heard was, "Daddy, I had an accident." Whoops. :D
Also, we've gotten pretty used to using toilet paper off the floor. That is, TP that Claire has unraveled from the tube while she's sitting on the potty. Usually full rolls, of course. I'll post pictures of that soon.
Well, Claire decided one evening to try and flush the ENTIRE wad of paper down the toilet at once. She just picked up the mountain of paper and stuffed it into the potty. Luckily I caught it early and fished it all out with a platic bag. Even though she's mastered doing the whole potty process all by herself, you still need to keep an eye on her!

Potty Trained!
Claire just came home from school today after wearing panties all day! Before you give me any accolades, I really have to give the credit to my parents.
Over the last 6 months or so, Claire has been using the potty sporadically. She would go when we thought of it or as a game. She'd sit on the potty when she woke up or was about to take a bath. I'll be honest, it just seemed like a lot of hassle. I mean, with diapers, you go when you wan to go, I'll change you when I want to change you! Maybe in a week, she would use the potty 4-5 times on the weekend and do pretty good at school. She would tell us when she needed to go, but a lot of the times she was just having too much fun to stop!
What put us over the edge was the trip to Houston. We went Thu, 7/29-Tue, 8/3, and during the few days we were there, my parents pretty much said, "hey, we have wood floors; she doesn't need diapers!", so she didn't. Just a few accidents, but she did great!
So today, Claire decided she wanted to wear panties to school. She had gone without a diaper at home pretty much all weekend, but sending her off was ... well, honestly, the teachers' problem once she got there. :D And, guess what? She came home dry! Yay, Claire!
