Today is the 4th day Izzy has been in underwear most of the day and all and all it is going well. We have had a couple challenges and today will be another test.
Yesterday she was with my mom all day...i took her over in her underwear in the morning and was successfull in getting her to pee on the potty before i left my moms (after a few minutes of stalling) My mom then had her the rest of the day and part of their Tuesday routine is to go to my mom's gym..my mom works with her trainer and Izzy goes to the child care...well my mom got to the gym early to give her time to get Izzy to go potty...this is where Izzy started crying and clinging to my mom, she didn't want my mom to leave her in the childcare...well Izzy won, she didnt go potty and my mom didn't leave her in the childcare and had an abreviated session with her trainer up on teh mats while Izzy watched. My mom then took her home fed her lunch , put her in a diaper and put her down for a nap......I got to my mom's house about 4:15 and izzy was awake from her nap and still in a diaper (URGH i asked my mom to put her in underwear as soon as she woke up) So I took off her diaper which was dry (so at this point she hasn't peed since 8:30 this morning when i dropped her off!!!!) After a lot of stalling by Izzy i was able to get her to pee on the potty before we went home.
So apparently my child has incredible holding power...which worries me a little but I am hoping it is all part of the learning process and getting comfortable. She went 2 more times last night and one of them was at the neighbors house during our pizza party so I was happy that she went succesfully while playing with her friends.
Today she is with the babysitter at our house...so we will see how that goes. She has used the potty in the past for the sitter, and I am hoping she will again today (even though she has gone before for my mom, but didnt' yesterday) She also hasn't pooped since Monday night (which was a HUGE one and in a diaper) so i am pretty sure she will have to poop today. I told the sitter if she is really uncomfortable with Izzy in underwear then to put her in a diaper as a last resort if she has to poop. I do feel a little bad leaving this job to the babysitter but at the same time i don't want to take a step backwards and put her back in a diaper.....
I can tell Izzy is very proud of herself when she goes, and she enjoys the praise we give her. She also clearly prefers beign in underwear so I am hoping everything continues to go well. She still has yet to have an accident due to her crazy holding power...i am just hoping that she doesn't give herself a bladder infection in teh process....
I have 3 diapers left in the house and am debating about buying diapers of moving to pull ups for naps and night....i think pull ups are overpriced and probably not needed but I also think it might be a good sign for izzy to have all the diapers gone and the move to the pull ups for nap and night as a sign to her that she is done with "diapers" even though I know that pull ups are essentially a diaper....
Here hoping for a good day with the babysitter...

Yay to the successes for both of you!!! You can always put her in a super thick "training" underpants at night and nap times. This way she gets wet, but her bed doesn't get completely soaked. Just make sure to have a waterproof mattress pad down if you don't already. This helped me get used to throwing out the diapers.
good point brooke, i do have some of those thick training underwear already, maybe i will do that. They also make the waterproof cover that goes overthem but I can't imagine it would be very comfortable...
i need to double check the mattress pad i have and see if it is waterproof.
