Last Saturday Karla and I had a big girl potty party. We potty trained a doll and then she got a present of DORA underware. (She picks them over the plain colored and flowered ones every time). Anyway, by the end of the day I was discouraged. But plugged ahead with a lot of encouragment from my two wonderful and patient mothers. But Sunday, Karla surprised us and went to the potty half the time. And this continued Monday and Tuesday. This morning, she got up and went potty twice with out any encouragment and then came and got me to show me and get her "Sticker." Right now, she gets a temporary tattoo everytime she goes in the potty. You should see her tummy!! And, knock on wood, she had had no accidents today. We are meeting Daddy at McDonalds tonight to celebrate and give her her big girl car seat. We are so proud of her!!
She is proud of herself too. She keeps informing Kylee that Kylee is still a baby while Karla is a big girl. Kylee surprised us last night though and went potty in the toilet for the first time last night. Since you only get a sticker on your tummy if you sit on the potty. She has a fairy for going potty in the toilet. You also only get your toe nails painted if you sit on the potty. So we are working towards repeating the first feat!! It has been a fun week. And I am finding my nervousness about this feat as a parent starting to ebe finally. I do thank God for those cute girls.
