princess and her potty reprise

(With thanks to Kristine for calling me on this). Apparently, I never got to the point of my title in Sunday's post. Evelyn is making huge strides in potty training (hooray!). She was accident free most of last week (if you except the diapers she wore for naptime and nighttime--and the poppy diaper she removed herself during naptime, while a sitter was here, and she was sleeping in my bed . . . luckily, there was only a small mess on the bed; mostly, as the sitter reported, this involved her holding her dress away from her body and crying because her bum was dirty). But, the biggest sign that this may actually be the real deal was on Sunday: the nursery leader brought her to me because she'd said she needed to use the bathroom. I thought for sure she would have gone (she was wearing a diaper) before we finally reached a bathroom, but to my surprise she was not only dry, but she proceeded to do both #1 and #2 in the potty at church. We might actually be out of diapers at our house in the foreseeable future.
