Potty Training

My daughter turned 2 last summer.  She had interest in using the potty, so we tried to transition her to training pants (I made her some Tinkle Time Trainers).  Well, they did and didn't help - I used suede cloth inside the trainers so they were stay-dry and she had a habit of letting me know that she needed to piddle just after she had done so.

I decided to go for the "Hail Mary" of potty training and got a few (dozen) pairs of panties for her and prepared to mop the floor.  Oh, I also resorted to bribing her with her favorite fruit gummies every time that she used the potty (even if she had an accident before hand).  Well, it only took a few days and all that we were having issues with were BM accidents.  That took a few weeks for her to figure out her warning signs of a BM

We've been fine at night until recently when she's managed to pee the bed a few days in a row. The potty is no longer a novelty, so she's been holding it.  She's been drinking a bit too much before bed, but I'm not surprised by that since we've been pushing fluids through her recently because we've all had a nasty cold.
