Potty Party

Well after a rough start yesterday, I ended up having a pretty great day.

We've been having a lot of problems yesterday with Darcy's potty training. At home, she's perfect, we haven't had an accident since March but at the babysitter's we've been having constant accidents. Well both Friday and Monday were accident-free!

I made a spontaneous decision last night to turn yesterday's success into an excuse for a party. We had hot dogs and french fries (some of her favourites) for supper, followed by ice cream sandwiches. Then she got to pick a favourite Dora episode to watch cuddled on the couch with Mommy. She loved it. She knew she had accomplished something big and was really proud of herself. We had a fantastic night.

I hope the positive reinforcement worked. She went to the babysitter's this morning excited about having another accident-free day. Today's reward will be a trip to the library where she can get three books and a DVD.

I hope we're on to something here...
