check that off our list

This girl is 100% potty trained.

 I always had planned on doing it when she was around 2 1/2 - the older the easier - but she was about to have her surgery so I put it off. And put it off. And put it off.

I kept hearing horror stories so I avoided it until a few weeks ago. She was beyond ready so I pushed myself and did it. 

The first day she lived in nakedness, we went nowhere, she had 4 accidents, and ate countless M&Ms and tootsie rolls as rewards. The second day she lived in a t-shirt, undies, went to the park and library for an hour, had 2 accidents, and ate countless chocolate. Since then she's had 2 accidents in 2 weeks from not being able to get her pants down fast enough (and chocolate has been nixed). 

One day within the first week we were gone all day shopping and she asked to go potty at Costco and Savers (local thrift store where I get all of my vintage pyrex and furniture I paint =)

She's got this potty business down.

Now I've jinxed myself and she'll piddle all over church tomorrow...
