potty training 101

1. Create a sticker chart with photoshopped pictures of potty, and let your kid put a sticker on the corresponding act each time. (Thanks for the idea, Glenda!)
2. Stock up on fruit snacks or other potty treats your kid enjoys (and give them a treat EVERY SINGLE TIME they go, even if it means they're on a sugar high for a few days)
3. Limit liquid intake.
4. Buy underwear with characters your kid likes so they won't pee on them (and make sure you tell your kid that the character will be really sad if they get peed on).
5. Don't stop after day one because you're already tired of the mess!
6. ENJOY having a potty trained kiddo (after about 5 days)!!!
GOOD JOB BIG GIRL!! Mommy is so proud!! and so happy I don't have to change diapers anymore!! woohoooooo!

Like that pee and poo chart you made :) Thank goodness you went with photoshopped pics!

Congrats on the success! I'm sure she is very proud of her big girl status.
