Sophia has been making GREAT progress with her potty training. I think something in her brain just clicked these last 2 days, and its only been a little over a month since we first started. Wearing the "big girl" underwear has definitely helped her to not soil herself. We have had sort of a drought these last few weeks but yesterday was her all star moment. It was actually the first time she emptied her bladder completely while on the potty chair, not just once but 3 other times though out the day!!! Woohoo! I think the sound or the sensation of peeing someplace besides her diaper really freaked her out because she would always pinch it off midstream. So yesterday was a big breakthrough for her & us. It's really quite strange but even though she tells us exactly when she has the urge to go and sits on the potty, she will start squirming around and cry right before she goes. Today was a lot better and I think each day will get even easier and better. These last 2 days, she has gotten to put 6 stars on her rewards chart. Sophia also gets to have a few goldfish crackers each time she goes in the potty chair as her special reward--and so far its been working. Munchkin sure loves her goldfish crackers! So very PROUD of her!!! Hooray for no accidents yesterday and only 1 today.
