big girl pants!

and she's POTTY TRAINED!!!
(these are her 'pull-up-panties' she wears at night)
i'll openly admit that i've cheated life in the potty training department. caitlin took 4 days from start to no accidents, abby took 1 day, and emma took a day-and-a-half. for real. i tried for a day to potty train emma in arizona while we were packing and watching brody, but it was just too busy. so i told her when we moved to utah, she could wear panties. but then the yard took a lot of work, and we decided once the girls started school, it was going to be time. so we started on thursday...and she learned so fast!! she must have an awesome bladder, she only has to go about every 4 hours. and she hates wearing diapers or 'pull-up-panties' at night, she insists on wearing 'regular panties' when she sleeps. unfortunately i'm not into the sheet washing every day (here's to you mom-diggity-dawwwg)...so i make her wear them. :o) GOOD JOB EMMA...we are so proud of you!!
the 'sticker chart'. candy didn't work too well as a bribe, but this worked like a dream.

Yeah I think you did cheat in the potty training department. Not that I have had to potty train any kids yet....but I can see some people potentially feeling really ripped off.
