Potty... Day Two.

Day two started out with flying colors. The first thing out of Madison's mouth as she walked out of her room was, "Mommy, potty?". I rushed her into the bathroom, took off her diaper (which was very wet), and she sat down and earned her first M&M. She had gotten four M&M's by 8:45... orange has been her color of choice. I felt like at this point that she had learned to work the system - going just a little potty at a time to earn the max number of M&M's. Then we had a big success... a poopy in the potty. Before she finally went the big #2, she asked to go to the potty several times with no success. Then this final time she looked at me in a bit of a panic and begged for a diaper. I told her that I knew she could do it if she tried, she just needed to put on her poopy face. She did and we all celebrated. She did pretty well the rest of the day... lots of potty in the potty with a few accidents. Her only accidents happened when we were playing outside. She'd look down at the pee streaming down her leg saying, "Uh oh, I have to go potty Mommy". While laying in bed tonight she asked to go potty. I took her in the first time and she sat and sat and sat. We went back to bed. She asked to go a second time and I told her we would try again in the morning (she had a diaper on), and she was okay with that. Hopefully tomorrow will be full of orange M&M's and celebrations and we can start venturing past our driveway :).
