Last week, Mommy had an experiment after Clara complained she didn't want to wear a pull up at night. Mommy knows that usually if Clara is asking to do something, she is ready, just like potty training. So, Mommy told her if she was dry for a week, she could wear underwear at night. And, just to be safe, Mommy took Clara for a "dream pee" sort of like that "dream feed" when they were babies, but now, Clara goes to pee at around 10 pm. Clara stayed dry.
So, finally, last Wednesday night, Mommy let Clara wear underwear. She's been doing great with only once accident in a week- not too bad.
Of course, Emma got upset and thinks she should wear underwear too. Emma isn't able to stay dry and because of her constipation issues, it really is best that she stay in it. At one point, Emma turned to Clara and maturely stated "Clara, it is okay to be different."
Emma argues nightly that she should get to wear underwear too and it isn't fair because they are "twins and do the same things." When she is ready, she'll be ready.
In the same vein, Emma has been doing a great job pooping on the potty. She sits (sometimes is forced to sit) and push (even tries fake ones when she doesn't want to do it) and goes. She does take quite a bit of miralax and fiber, but it seems to be working.Tonight, Daddy promised her .50 cents if she went. When Mommy asked her what she'd save the money for, she had an answer- "the Barbie doll with the doggies." And, Clara aka the future lawyer, somehow managed to get in on the deal and negotiated the money for herself when she poops too- which she does pretty consistently every night. Don't think this is what Daddy had in mind.
