Yippee!

After months of laying the groundwork, coaxing, and wondering how it's possible that so many grown-ups and their parents ever succeeded at the process...Piper is potty-trained! Here's the magic formula, hope it helps someone else! We bought the pink, comfy, cushy potty about 6 months ago, and waited for the magic to happen. We'd heard that the key was to be low-key about things, so we never pushed, forced, or demanded, we just went with her interest level. I also purchased a few pairs of Disney Princess Underwear and jelly beans. I also let her wear her pink princess dress everytime she did go on the potty. Then last Thursday Piper decided she was ready! Since then she's gone every single time on the "big girl potty" only having a single miss. That one was our fault, we didn't get her there fast enough. She's so excited about wearing her UNDERwear that she carries them around with her throughout the day and shows them off. Wow, Wow, Wow. Potty trained in just a couple days. I'm excited. So, all those with girls that are gearing up for this: pink potty, jelly beans, and princess dress, and princess panties. Good luck!

These pics are Piper in her blessing dress. I love the one with all her fairy godmothers helping her get ready. And look at that bald head! She now has gorgeous blonde, wavy hair that hangs down to the middle of her back. She's been a wonderful blessing and a true joy in our family. 2 1/2 and an amazing little princess. The other pics are at the St. Louis Zoo for spring break last week.
