Potty training...

is rough.I think we might almost be there. Yesterday she was dry almost all day. I think her pull-up was wet once, today she has been dry so far all day and were working on going #2 in the toilet. She even went in by herself when I was feeding Kyle and did everything right. What is it with kids and not wanting to go #2 in the toilet? Hence the fish tank, stupid me thought this would be a good reward. I don't know if you can tell but there are no fish. She has to actually do the deed to get the fish. The tank needed time to settle so it worked out great, she has something tempting her but she knows she still needs the fish to complete the tank. (it just might have lots of time to get settled)
I let Sofie go out and play in the back yard the other day, she had a blast. She has been watching Mulan 2 and she was pretending to be Mulan when she is practicing her fighting. We have a horse in our basement, the plastic kind that is still a good size, the other day I heard her down there going at a pretty good clip yelling for Shang, Mulan's boyfriend. What a nut.
She saw an airplane.

This is what happened when I made her come inside. Her hands were frozen.

The fish tank is a great idea. Heck-- I'd be motivated for real live fishies! They get you to do all sorts of crazy stuff to win one at the fair. Surely going potty is easier. We're cheering you on, Sofie!

Good luck with that whole potty training thing, I have come so close to throwing the towel several times but it has been about 3 weeks and we aren't doing to bad. We got Elli a doll that moves and if she has an accident she loses it. Has worked out pretty well but only time will tell. Hope you get fish soon!! Enjoy!
