so proud!

today was a celebration day!
(this is her face, post fudge-dipped vanilla ice cream cone!)

Jules has been pull-up free for a while now. However, because of some "going" issues she has had trouble getting #2 in the right spot. She waits as long as possible, and has generally just hated to do the deed. Anywho, we finally decided that a positive rewards system was required to get her over the hump. As it hasn't been a development issue or a practice issue. Jules is a huge candy fan. So we got her special heart-shaped suckers. I printed out a Dora chart that says "I did it!" and taped it to the box. So, every time she's done a #2 in the potty, she's gotten a sticker on her chart, and a sucker. She's improved by leaps and bounds. She was promised something special at the end of her first row. The treat was icecream. When we pulled through the Dairy Queen drive-through she said, "icecream, icecream, yay, yay, yay!" as she clapped. super cute. We've told her how proud we are of her. Great job Jules!
