It's got to be some sort of progress, right?

Alison has been doing pretty well at staying dry in her diapers. She's had some accidents here and there, but overall, I think she's doing pretty well. I finally found some training pants small enough to fit her, and decided to give them a try Monday since we were going to be home all night and if there were any accidents it wouldn't be a big deal. Things were going great.....she was keeping them dry....until she pooped in them. So we got her all cleaned up, put her back in a diaper and talked about how she has to keep her underwear dry and clean if she's going to wear them. Tuesday night, we tried it again. She peed so much that she was soaked clear down to her shoes and socks. Yesterday I wasn't even going to attempt underwear again, but she insisted...actually refused to wear a diaper and screamed at me to put underwear on her. So I gave it another go. She lasted about two hours before she went running to her dad saying she had pooped. It turned out that she had not pooped, had actually wet her pants again. This was good news and bad news. The bad news was that she had the accident. The good news? That she realized she had done it. And that she stopped herself before she soaked herself like she did on Tuesday and was able to finish up on the potty. She's been demanding underwear again today. I put her off because we had a busy morning today, and more importantly, because I didn't have any more underwear for her! So I did the laundry today, the underwear is clean, and we'll give it a try again tonight.
