Introducing The Girl's new fashion line- hand me down t-shirts from Mommy.
Potty training is a never ending battle in our house- sometimes The Girl does great for days at a time, and then it's a day of Mommy cleaning dirty underwear. I was at my wits end and That Guy and I were racking our brains trying to figure it out.
Then it hit me... The Girl has accidents when she wears pants or skirts. If she's running around the house in just her undies- or in undies and a t-shirt- she does just fine. But if I put pants or a skirt on her, suddenly she forgets how to dress and undress herself.
I have no idea why this is- but t-shirts are easy enough. I've given her several of my old t-shirts that she can wear- this way she can still go outside and play without having to worry about modesty.
Ok, sure, she looks like a little rag-a-muffin. And I am sure that I am going to get some odd looks from other parents when I take her to the playground behind our house dressed in a giant t-shirt and sandles. But it works! And right now, that's all that matters to me.
Besides- she's cute and confident enough to pull off a bold fashion statement.

I think that's an awesome idea! Better than trying to buy some dresses or something - and a good way to reinvent some old shirts.
Who cares how it looks? It works!
My parents were having trouble with my younger brother and finally hit the right solution. When we returned home from a weekend trip to grandma's, mom told him she forgot all the diapers there so he'd have to use the big boy potty. He did and never looked back! Weird how it takes certain things to just push a kid in the right direction...
