Potty training update

So we've been potty training for about 10 days now. I would say Anne has about a 50-75% success rate. On days we go out, obviously she does worse and on days we stay home she does better. However, we did go to the mall yesterday and they had mini toilets for kids and she did pee on that-huge sauces. And today she did pee at a friend's house-another high. But then there are days at home where she pees 3x in a row in her diaper.


Well, when we first started, I made a "potty chart" with 30 spaces on it. Every time she peed (or pooed but that hasn't happened yet) she got a sticker and when she got all 30 stickers I told her she would go get a toy. Today she completed the potty chart! Whoo hoo Annie! We'll be getting her the toy of her choice tomorrow. After this, I decided that I will just go ahead and switch her over to underwear. I'm going to make a new potty chart and if she can keep her underwear dry all day (except naps) she gets a sticker. I think I'm going to put only 10 spaces on that one. Again, if she gets all stickers she can have a toy. Perhaps within a months time we'll be completely trained! (Because, after all, the baby does need her biders-that's "diapers" for those who don't speak Anne.)
