I'm a big kid now!

Today was the day.  We said goodbye to diapers and hello to big girl panties.  For Eva, not for me.  :)  Just in case anyone was confused.  I'll give the day a "C" because we were about 50/50 on making it in the potty.  It was a pretty decent first day.  

She was so proud of herself every time that she actually made it to the potty on time.  It was really cute.  She also very quickly realized that going on the potty results in chocolate.  A few times she asked for her treat and I told her she had to go potty first.  She sat on the potty and strained and strained trying to go so she could get her treat.  It was really funny.  

I'll keep you posted on the progress!

Oh my gosh, that's hilarious! Now, she is a genius if she starts asking for more to drink. Take note, my friend! :) Glad the first day was successful (even if it was a C- last time I checked that's still passing)!!

Great job, Eva!! I guess I better get Ella in that direction too! I will be paying close attention to any potty tips you provide on your blog!

Michawn, I'll be happy to give you chocolate for peeing in the potty and not on the floor! :)

Seriously, though, (and this question can be answered by anyone) when do I start reducing the chocolate rewards? Thoughts are welcomed.
