Monday I went to COSTCO... weird, isn't it? I bought what I hope will be the last box of diapers for Mini-me. Things have been going great in the potty training department. She has finally agreed to pee in the regular toilet, not only at home, but at other houses. Thanks in part to M&M's with peanuts. Sometimes she does ask for her 3 pieces, other she doesn't. If that's what it will take to get her bootie used to it, so be it.
Our friend Special-K had the honor of being the first home she peed in (outside ours). It's funny because she was also the person who cleaned up her first poop ever. I guess that means they have a crappy/shitty relationship? Or that she likes to piss her off? No? Sorry people, I was actually thinking about what stupid comment I could write while I was in traffic.
So anyway, I'm happy. Hopefully we won't use all the 166 diapers and will give some away.

Potty training Chart
I don't even remember when I started to potty train Pumpkin, but we've done it in a very relaxed way. About 10 weeks ago I printed a potty training chart and I cut and paste a "sticker" on her chart whenever she goes and pees. Well, yesterday she completed the chart. 35 times! Wow! We've been trying to get her all excited and told her that when she filled the chart we would take her to pick a toy.
Yesterday she was only 2 stickers away from a complete chart. Obviously we were saying: "Only 2 more times, 2 more! And we'll take you tonight to pick a toy!". Finally at about 6pm she completed the chart. We danced, screamed, hi-5'ed, the works... then we got ready and headed for Toys R Us. She even took her chart with her, which I thought was a very good idea. That way we could remind her why we were there.
We asked for the Dora the Explorer section. If you've read my past posts you might now she is obsessed with Dora. It turns out they had a total of 5 toys, 4 of which were the furniture for the Big 'Ol Dora House, which we don't have. We continued looking for things she liked. Got to the book section, she looked at several then put them down again. Pumpkin does have a lot of books, probably more than 20. I guess she might become a bookworm just like her mommy? Actually JA is very happy about that because he barely reads. So anyway, she saw a Dora coloring book, one of those that have watercolors and she got that one. We kept looking through the aisles and got to the Little Tykes section, she has several of them. We let her make the decision, which one do you want Pumpkin? The airplane? The book? Or the car with the camper and tables and dolls? And isn't she a smart girl... This is what she picked and hurried us to pay:
Maybe she knows about the economy? She definitely surprised used with her choice. $7.99 beats $24.99 any day.
