Success!

Yesterday was not a good day in potty-training land.

Arden had accident, after accident...including two poops.

Needless to say, I was exhausted and discouraged :(

But last night, something happened....something miraculous!

We got home from dinner and Arden said "POTTY!"

She sat on the little potty, then said "Poopy on potty!"

She then moved to the big potty....


And pooped on the potty for the very first time...all without any prompting from us!

HOORAY! There was much celebrating, rewarding, and picture-taking, of course!

The first words out of her mouth were "Mommy, POOPY! Big prize! Chuck E. Cheese!"

Yes, sweetie---we are SO proud of you! You got your big prize last night (mini reese cups instead of M&Ms) and if you keep this up, we will definitely be taking a trip to good ol' Chuck E. Cheese :)

Now, let's just see how long this lasts.

Maybe, just maybe, we're turning over a new leaf with potty-training!
