Hip Hip Hooray!

We began the potty training adventure in April. Elliana took to it quickly and had an enthusiasm I was not prepared for. She quickly filled an entire potty chart with stickers and eventually devoured a jumbo size bag of M&M's, one at a time after each successful trip.

Sure, there were days when she just wasn't into it, or just flat out refused to stop playing to make a potty trip...but overall, I am blown away with her progress and achievement.

Our friends had recommended the final reward of Build A Bear after several weeks of dry diapers and/or underwear. And so, we began a new, official potty chart to track the progress and countdown to Build A Bear.

Today, marks day # 7 of consecutive dryness (well, as of the new official chart). And, to celebrate the half way point to Build A Bear, tonight we are going out to celebrate. To enjoy the not so little things in life and to cherish this big milestone of our baby's life.

Big girl, little toilet...big accomplishment.
