Campbell has really turned a corner on the whole potty training thing. She now willingly goes "tinkle" on the potty with usually 1 or maybe 2 wet pull ups a day. I think what helped us turn the corner was enticing (aka bribing) her with little prizes (thank you to KJ & J for the good tip!). When she goes, she gets to pick a little prize - thank goodness for the $1 bargain bins at Target! But even cheaper for me is that the prize she now picks every time is a few pieces of fruit snacks.
It's pretty funny how every time she goes, she exclaims loudly: "I'm starting to go tinkle!!!"
I still have to remind her to go, but a few times she's told us she had to go. And even better, a couple mornings she's woken up with a completely dry diaper. I think her best effort was that she stayed dry the whole drive up north to Nana & Papa's house. She was so excited to go there that I couldn't get her to sit on the potty before we left. She said that she'd go when she got to Nana & Papa's house - and she did!
The next hurdle will be getting her to go poop on the potty....don't worry I'll be sure to share with the world when it happens! I promise there will just be words, no pictures. ha! ha! :)
