We've been working on potty training with Isabella on and off since March. Liza decided to really go for it last week when she would be home all week to work on it with Isabella. They got a chart and put it on the wall. Each time she went in the potty, she got a happy face sticker. Every time she went in her "pink panties" (pull-ups) she got a sad face. If she got 10 stickers in a week, she could go to the book store and pick out a "Mazie" book (one of her favorites.) So, they started off pretty slow, but the last couple of days she has really started to figure it out. Yesterday she went 4 times in the potty and had no sad faces. She was very excited when she got her 10th sticker.
Today we'll go to Barnes and Nobel and pick out her book. Every time she goes in the potty now she says "No mommy draw sad-face! Put on sticker!" and then she does her potty victory dance with Liza.

See Belle count her happy face stickers. (She is already working on "creative accounting.")

Isn't this all so much fun!! If you look at it as fun then it isn't as discouraging when things don't come altogether each time. One day at a time and be grateful for the way it goes. Have fun with the counting and the work.
Yeah Isabella!! You are such a big girl!! And yeah Chris and Liza as it's almost just as hard for us parents, isn't it?? LOL
