Exciting Times!

Emily walked into the kitchen and told us that she needed her sucker. Normally we will give her a few licks on her sucker if she poops on the toilet. This time, however, she ventured into the bathroom ON HER OWN and pooped. Yippee! I almost couldn't believe it. Had to get Greg to check it out for himself.

Here are some pictures of the action. Potty training has been happening since February. We've tried all sorts of tricks, with no success. We were more trained than she was. Our current method is to use the stop watch. It's still more for us than Emily, but she knows what to do when she hears it.

Emily's incentive chart - a princess calendar/sticker book. She adds smiley faces when she pees and stars when she poops.

Maybe putting her where she is comfortable will work?

Trying to go right after waking up in the morning.

Maybe a few snacks will help move things along?
