Potty Training...

I was in Wal Mart yesterday getting groceries and I came across a really cheap ($5) gumball machine! It's really little but I think it'll work just fine for what I need it for. I showed it to Madison today and explained how to put the penny in and turn it just right so that the gumball came out. I told her she had to use the potty in order to get a gumball and she tried her little heart out with no luck, so I told her we would try again later. While we were eating lunch she said "mama, go potty, get gum, mama go potty get gum!!!" and ran to the bathroom. Sure enough she used the potty and I let her use the gumball machine. Boy was she excited!! She ran around the house screaming "go potty get gum!!" for quite a while. Then we had to call Dad and Nama and tell them all about it (still screaming).

I also picked up a box of pull-ups for her at the store and they came in this cute little "toy box" container to help children potty train. It's a neat way to store the pull-ups and it came with stickers that you put on the calendar on the inside of the box when they potty. It's pretty neat. So, when she used the potty I also let her put a sticker on the box. I really hope all this works. Wish me luck!

She has one sticker so far...
