For the last couple of weeks, we have been focusing on potty training Kaitlyn. She gets to wear big girl panties most of the time and only wears pull-ups while she is sleeping or if we venture far from home (just to be safe). The first couple of days were rough and resulted in a few accidents that required carpet cleaner. Since then, however, Kaitlyn has been very good about telling us when she needs to go and we have found that M&M's are a great motivator - 1 for going #1 and 2 for going #2. Lately, when she has to go, she yells, "Mama/Dada peepee/poopy" and then runs to the bathroom. When she's finished, she tells us the number of M&M's she should receive based on the aforementioned formula, picks them out of the container and tells us the color of the one she has chosen. So, she's well on her way to being potty trained as well as learning her numbers and colors. Triple bonus!
On a separate topic, here's a video of Kaitlyn doing one of her favorite things; helping Mommy cook. In this case, she's making breakfast and has the good sense to taste it while she cooks.
