Happy Mother's Day #2 - Five Jelly Beans!

I don't want to get too specific with the details and certainly won't post a picture, but CJ made major progress on the potty today. We've been doing some part-time underpants wearing when it has been convenient, but haven't pushed anything. CJ seemed happy to sit on her little potty and was proud of herself when she had success and received praise. The thought of no-diaper preschool in the fall caused us to up the ante a week or two ago with some jelly beans to reward her successes. At the time Mommy mentioned that it was 1 jelly bean for #1 and five jelly beans for #2.

Today Daddy took CJ to the potty while Mommy got ready for her run. CJ seemed happy to stay in the bathroom a while and finally called out "Daddy". He asked if she was done and she replied "I went. I did it. I did something else." This brought Daddy back to her side very quickly and he confirmed it. We were out our first five jelly beans! Our second five were passed out later in the day.

Oh, Happy Mother's Day! Let's hope this continues...
