Potty Training

Okay - we've been super busy lately...sorry for the lack of posting. We're also working on potty-training - so no need for photos of that. After a weekend with cousin Julia, Olivia decided she wanted to wear her big girl panties all the time! So, that worked for a little while, but she didn't mind "going" in them. So, now we're just working on shorter bursts of time in them and trying to encourage her to use the potty. We have the sticker chart, which in turn can earn her prizes.

Right now her prizes are pretty big - they are the "decoration" that we bought for her room. Instead of putting prints on her walls, we decided to get her the porcelain dolls. Actually, her Poppi found one and bought it for her, and she LOVED it - so then the hunt was on the find the rest! Poppi found one more and then Travis found the rest. So, we gave her one after she consecutively used the potty. And then we told her that she could get another one (Tinkerbell, herself) if she would just go #2 on the potty. Well, yesterday when she got home from school, the first thing she had to tell me was that she put her poopy in the potty at school! Big excitement in our house, and Olivia is the proud owner of a pretty tink doll. :)

We'll see how it goes. Sorry for the lack of pictures...but didn't figure you wanted pictures of any of this! :)
