Day 1: Wet in the Trenches

We thought we were doing so well. After a good morning of three bathroom visits and a nap in which she woke up dry, Quinn foiled our neat little plan when – after we put her awesome Yo Gabba Gabba! panties on her – she quietly smiled, peed her pants, and tracked pee all over the floor.

We quickly took off the pants again and went back to the no-pants-on-for-the-first-day method. But then we saw this article that said you could "naked potty train" your kid, which means the kid won't understand pants aren't supposed to be a convenient way to capture pee. (This was a frightening concept that had us imagining a wild adult Quinn running through the woods without pants. She'd eventually be cornered and it would come out that she was naked potty trained... Even the wolves would shake their heads.)

And so back on went the training pants. No panties yet, but the training pants are cotton so she'll know when she's had an accident.
