Potty Party!

So, after many months of attempting to sway my little one into WANTING to go potty, we've finally made it! Hallelujah! What made her finally change her mind? This fabulous Dora toilet seat she saw. {go figure} And no, it's not on backwards {according to Mackenzee}. This is the RIGHT way to put it on.

I'm just glad we found something that works for her. Not only do we have the Dora potty, but there {of course} must be a bribe...er...I mean a reward. "Good job! You went peepee in the potty!" I honestly love hearing her say, "Yook mommy!" She is so very proud of herself. Anyway...back to the "reward". Mackenzee LOVES stickers. Bandaids count as stickers to her. :0) So, we went to the "sticker store" and got oodles and oodles of them, and everytime she goes potty, she gets a few stickers to add to her collection. There are also "special" stickers for if she goes "Numero dos" {some of you will get that, for the rest of you, go watch Elmo's Potty Time}. She's only got one of those so far. Sigh. Baby steps right?

We are currently working on getting these. They are those fun little puffy stickers. She wants them SO bad. She's just really having a hard time.

And, for those of you who read my post on my Random blog of Jaysen's golf trip, you read that we had to return boys underpants to the store on Saturday. Well, she really wants to just wear the boy underpants. Apparently they are WAY better than the princess ones. Sigh. I gave in after 5 minutes of trying to explain to her that they were for boys. She didn't care. So, we went home with Diego underpants. Luckily, when I got home, I found they were a size 4T and her little bottom is just too small for that size. Awww......so, we took them back and luckily, with Landon's help, we convinced her to get Minnie Mouse girl panties instead of the Mickey Mouse boy underpants. Sigh. {I secretly wonder if she does stuff like this just to watch me get frustrated over it. Like she's just sitting there thinking, "I really want the My Little Pony panties, but I know my mom will just GROAN if I tell her I want Transformers, so I'm going to pick those instead." I really think she does.}

So, here is my adorable, yet frustrating daughter in her cute little Minnie Mouse panties. No, I did not tell her to pose this way. She really wanted to make sure that the panties showed up in the picture.

And she wanted to make sure that we properly documented the panties, so she turned around to give us the "fanny" shot.

And this...is THE sticker book. See how many stickers are on there? Look at her staring at the book in awe. I am imagining a church choir singing "Laaaaaaa!" when I see this picture. It cracks me up. She has formed quite the collection these past couple of weeks.

And, she didn't have a single accident when we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house yesterday. We braved the outing without the safety of the pullup and she did awesome! Hallelujah! Landon took FOREVER to potty train. Now that she's into it and knows there's a sticker for her in the end...she's got it down pat practically. I'm soooo glad. I hate diapers.
