a job well done

I had vacation time coming and i had one goal in mind. potty training. It was time for Mia to move out of the diapers and into big girl panties. I was given great advice by my friend andrea to use the pull up as a cover over the panties. i had already tried the old fashioned plastic ones and once they were wet, the smelled. I talked and talked to mia about using the potty and how we would no longer need messy diapers. We woke up friday morning and put on the panties. and we waited, and waited and waited. nothing. mia then announced she couldn't use the potty because she didn't know how. So we talked about it again. how to sit, what to do, etc. at noon, we tried one more time to go potty. Success!! and she hasn't looked back. She got a special reward for staying dry all day too - it was a mrs. potatoe head! Mia loved her friend madison's and wanted one of her own! (look for picture of her soon) I couldn't be more proud of her! And her friend Pinkie Pie was also very proud of her! So proud she bought her a special gift and sent her a letter!**Amelia was so excited! she carried the letter around with her for days!

**this idea was completly borrowed from my friend cassie. i think tinkerbell stopped at her house with a special gift for chloe! stop by her blog to see the story and 2 really cute girls!
