It's Time!
Mirabel finally going on the potty!
I have to admit that this is the first time I've had to put forth great effort to get a child to go on the potty. Naomi and Selah both took the initiative and did it themselves. Easy!
Mira is an entirely different child. She's been talking about the potty and big girl pants with great excitement for months, but when it comes to the actual execution, she's absolutely NOT interested.
Today is different. One, because I have a newborn baby at home and we're not going anywhere. Two, because she WANTS to do it. We have the potty sitting in the family room in front of our TV with anything she wants on the screen. I'm pumping the fluids (see the juice box above) and she's rewarded with stickers and suckers, cookies or jelly beans. I know that's a bit extreme but it's working. She's gone at least a dozen times already and it's only 9:30 AM. Yahoo!

Yeah, Mira!! We're so proud!
No matter how you have to do it, Calley, it's worth it! You go girl...maybe I should say that a different way...

I feel like this photo needs a modesty blur.
