Day Five: She did not ask today! ... She also went back to the bathroom and went potty by herself for the first time tonight too!!! YAY!

Today, our fifth day of weaning, is the first day Heidi has not asked for breastmilk. YAY! I am actually still kind of sore too (not as bad as yesterday though... yesterday was the worst!). I hope I stop producing milk soon. How long does it usually take to go away?

Also, tonight when we got home from a church activity, she took her diaper off because it was wet. I was going to put a new one on her, but she didn't want one on and we were watching something on tv for a little while (wind-down time to get her calmed down before bed). So after a couple minutes of trying to get her to let me put a diaper on her and her telling me "No, don't want it," I finally said "Fine, but you need to go to the back to your potty chair if you need to go pee since you won't let me put your diaper on!" After that, I totally forgot that I had not put a diaper on her! She was just sitting there on the couch in a long dress without a diaper on. When I said what I had said, I just thought I would just try again in a couple of minutes, but I just totally forgot about it!

Well, about an hour later I told her it was time to get ready for bed. She ran down the hallway and I thought she was going to her bedroom because she said "book time!" We usually have book time and read a couple of stories before I put her to bed. I got back there maybe a minute or two later to see her walking back out of the DARK bathroom (no lights on/night time) and she said "Mommy, dress wet... off, take it off... wet." There was a small spot on the side that was wet. She seemed a little distressed that her dress was wet. I immediately remembered that I had NOT put a diaper back on her!!!!! My first thought was she must have peed on the floor in the bathroom or something, so I turned on the light and walked in. There was no pee on the floor. Then, I lifted the lid on her potty chair and she had gone back to the bathroom ALL BY HERSELF in the DARK (with a little light in the hallway that was coming from the living room)... and she went pee all by herself!!! I was surprised to find no mess on the floor! This is the first time she has gone to use the potty all by herself! Actually, she has not even gone on it in at least a week. I guess she took me seriously when I told her that if she didn't want to wear a diaper, she had to go use her potty chair. I guess when she sat down on her potty chair in the dark bathroom, she did not get her long dress lifted all the way and must have gotten some pee on it. Of course I let her know how proud I was of her for going back there all by herself when she had to go. She seemed to be really happy when she saw how excited I was that she went back there and used the potty all by herself.
