Big Girl Emma

After many attempts to get our 3 year old potty trained. I can officially say she has accomplished it.
It wasn't an easy journey though. She caught onto to going pee pretty easily but would refuse to go number 2. She would go in her underwear and after ruining many pairs of underwear I took a break from training. So after we had the baby, I told Emma that we were going to try again. We asked her what she wanted and she told us a Belle doll. So we made a deal with her that if she went poo in her potty chair she could have a Belle doll. She liked the idea. But it didn't work immediately.
Well she would wake up in the morning and do her business in her diaper before I had time to put her in her undies. So the other day we were out shopping and we picked her up a Belle doll and displayed it on top of the fridge where she could see and we told her once she made a deposit in the potty she could have her toy. She was agreeable to that.
So on Sunday she made her deposit and told her sister Hannah to come and see what she did. I heard Hannah say something about poop so I told Dusty that I thought Emma may have did it. We went back to check and sure enough she did. The things we get excited about but we clapped and yeahed for her. She was so proud of herself too. And she got to open her new Belle doll.
Now she is a Big Girl.
