Potty Training part 2

Potty training is a huge turning point not only in a child's life but as a parent. Rachel was...easy. Day 1 consisted of accident after accident, total frustration, calling my mother in tears, chilling in the bathroom ALL DAY (literally) and finally having one successful "pee pee in the potty" and that was it! Really! I gave her a skittle for sitting on the potty, I gave her one for having dry panties, I gave her one each time she told me she needed to go - and then when she FINALLY did it I LOADED HER UP WITH SO MUCH CANDY SHE'S GOOD TILL NEXT HALLOWEEN! We called every immediate family member with a cell phone, we showered her with praise - and that was it. It was finished. It was like she said, "That's it? All I had to do to get candy and be praised and STAY DRY was pee in that thing? Really? There's no catch? SWEET!" I have learned from friends and books and articles on the subject that the ONLY way to go is cold turkey straight to the panties. No diapers or pull-ups at night - no cheating. Well I am here to tell you that CHEATING is the only way to go. I put on a pull-up OVER Rachel's panties when she goes to bed. That way if she starts to dribble she FEELS wet (not like diapers that absorb it all) but I don't have to do a full jammy, bed sheet change at 2 in the morning! Pretty sweet. I figure that way I don't "untrain her" or teach her to rely on the pull-ups - but it saves a LOT of laundry for me, and let's face it - don't we all have enough laundry to do anyway!?!
