potty training/トイレトレーニング

Now that we're done traveling for a while, the weather is warm, and Pineapple's understanding of "going potty" is becoming clear, we decided that it's time to go diaper-free! We started last Sunday. We kept telling her that she's not wearing diapers during the day any more. She had accidents the first two times, but after that she did start saying "potty, potty" and running to the bathroom. On Monday, I put her in underwear for the first time. I told her that she's a big girl and she is now wearing big girl underwear. Since then, I put diapers on her only when she goes to sleep. Still, she's doing pretty well. She's only been wet twice since then after waking up from her nap or in the morning!! Even when she had a fever, she did just fine.

She seems very proud when she goes potty, and I'm very happy that I don't have to wash cloth diapers anymore! There will be some laundry to do, though, if she has another accident...

これからとうぶんの間旅行はしないし、暖かい時期だし、パイナップルも「トイレに行く」という事が理解出来ているのがはっきりしてきたということで、オムツを取る事に決めました!先週の日曜日から始め、日中はオムツはしないんだよと言い聞かせました。最初の2回は見事にお漏らしをしましたが、そのあとは「ちっち、ちっち」と言ってトイレに走るようになりました。月曜日には下着をはかせ、「もうお姉ちゃんだから、お姉ちゃんパンツをはくんだよ。」と娘に話しました。それ以来、寝る時だけオムツをつけるようにしています。それでも、上手にやっています。それ以降お昼寝や朝起きた時に2度しかオムツを濡らした事がないのです!熱がある時でも、ちゃんとやってくれました。

娘はトイレに行くととても誇らしげな顔をし、私ももう布オムツを洗わなくていいのだと思うと嬉しくて仕方ありません。それでも、お漏らしをした時は洗濯が増えますけどね・・・
