Potty training! Puts fear in my heart just to think about it.

1st attempt many months ago-14 pairs of panties in one day!

Ok, so maybe she just wasn't quite ready.

Now its time to try again.

We started on Monday, Jan 4th. Only 4 pairs of panties. Huge improvement over previous attempt. Next day, no accidents! wohoo! Wednesday, she goes to YeYe & Nai Nai Ream's house & has 1 accident. Not bad for first time being away from home & potty training. Doing great! We are now 14 days out & have not had an accident since then! Way to go Maddie!

Since she was doing so great, we decided she needed a reward. So, tying the haircut treat in with potty training treat, we went to Toys R Us where she picked out a doll house. Since we got home & got it out of the box, she has been inseparable. She LOVES it!

Way to go Maddie, we are so proud of you!

Teacher Julie read a story about snow. Then she passed out a baggie with an ice cube in it for the kids to watch & see what happens when they hold the ice cube in their warm little hands...

Now it's time to make real whipped cream! Mmmmmmm...
