Ice Cream Reward

I think that the latest round of potty training with Mary might have been The One! The difference I saw this time was her attitude: she was cheerful and eager--and so proud of her successes!

On Day 8 she succeeded in having no accidents all day, so she earned a trip to Baskin Robbins for ice cream with candy toppings! (The kids made goofy expressions in all the photos.)



If there is a vertical surface, Mary is climbing it and leaping off of it. Here she had taken her ice cream off the table so she could dance to the music without pausing her eating, then she stood on the foot ledge and leapt off of it without spilling her dessert. And that's when I redirected her to her seat!

Miss Margaret is rolling over both ways these days, although hasn't discovered that, if she keeps rolling, she can travel across the room.

  2. Congratulations to Mary! And to Mama: these things happen in their own time. (PS: Mary's dress is very similar to the one I wore on a brief shopping expedition this morning.)
