This is the statement I am told when Lainey has an accident. We halted all potty training attempts around Thanksgiving. She was fighting me on trips to the potty and having more accidents which only led to me being very frustrated. I didn't want to have a toddler power struggle over this, so I just let it go and stopped all references to the potty or panties. About a week ago, Lainey started asking for certain pairs of panties. Usually Dora or her ballerina frog ones. And that's when this new phrase came about. "Mommy, I peeped." I think it's really cute.
The best part is, we've had three full days of panties only for little Miss Lainey- all by her request. She has special Sleeping Beauty pull-ups to take naps in or if we have a long set of errands to run and I'm too nervous to try without the back up. But she's mastered that as well. Sleeping Beauty's star fades if she gets wet and Lainey doesn't want to lose the star. We even ran errands yesterday and the day before in panties and she asked in the store when she needed to go! I'm really proud of her. She's only "peeped" once in the last three days and that was today at the park after lunch and no potty to run to. I'm not holding my breath that we are getting close to being fully potty trained though. I have a feeling when Brooke arrives, we'll have some regression. But hopefully it'll be short lived.
And now, being 38 weeks pregnant... I have to go peep... again. ;)

That's so great! It would be wonderful to only have one in diapers at a time. Keep up the good work Lainey!
