Happy Potty Day!

I have seen lots of blogs about the glamorous lives people lead. They travel, they live in NYC, they spend money on fun things like new shoes and not on diapers. My life is not one of these. I am up to my elbows in poopy diapers and runny noses instead . In order to change at least one of these things, we are celebrating Potty Day today. It is a fabulous holiday.
Since none of the potty incentives were working, I decided to roll them all into one thus creating Potty Day. First thing this morning Eden got to pick out a pair of pretty panties to wear. She was excited to see her step stool in the bathroom so she could climb up to the potty all by herself. Her princess potty seat was waiting and for once she actually wanted to sit on it. Her special potty cyrstals were in a cup and an empty cup was waiting to be filled. She knew she would get to pick out of the treasure chest after 5 crystals (1 for pee pee 2 for poo). So we set the timer for 20 minutes and 18 minutes later she had her first accident. That is pretty panty number 1. Every twenty minutes for the next two and a half hours we went to sit on her pretty princess potty seat. Nothing. Then she had accident number two. Pretty panty pair number 2. But at least this time she came running to me to tell me she had gone pee pee.
Now it was lunch time. We ate a scrumptious lunch. Then I asked her if she needed to go potty. She answered YES. We climbed up the step stool, took off the pretty panties, sat down on the pretty princess potty seat, and...... went pee pee!! A victory! Eden had a huge smile on her face, almost as big as mine. We celebrated by washing hands, flushing and saying goodbye to the pee pee, and then she finally got her first crystal! So far pretty panty number 3 is holding on strong. Lets just hope she doesn't have to poo soon.

So happy potty day to all! Here's hoping we have continued success on this wonderful holiday.
