Lily and the Potty Treats

I decided Monday was the day to potty train Lily.
She has been able to go in the potty for awhile but I wanted to wait until summer was over.
Last week, most days she would maybe go once in  her diaper and then want to go in the potty and so we were going through a ton of diapers. And I was done.
 Monday morning we headed to Walmart and Target to find the right character dundies (that is what they are called at our house).  We washed them and put them on.
She had a few accidents that day- including pooping (diarrhea-no more apple juice for a few days) on the carpet. I had told her not to get Elmo wet and so she had taken the dundies off and took care of business. 
 She has had moments all 3 days where she has been in just dundies but she used to take all of her clothes off and run around in just a diaper so not too much has changed. 
 Notice she has filled one sticker chart.  After 5 stickers she gets to choose a treat out of the jar.
Arabella has tried really hard to convince her that she should eat the Almond Joys but every time she has gone for the Smarties. I am happy with the progress we are making. I am sure there will be some rough patches ahead but here is to 3 pretty good days!
