tinkle tinkle little star

Wow, today was a good day. This afternoon we made MAJOR progress in the potty training department with Charlotte. Since it was so nice out, we let Charlotte run around naked while we were planting flowers and throwing the balls for the dogs. During normal conversation we talk about going potty with Charlotte. She also love popsicles; almost more than pickles. Since it was hot, we let her have a popsicle. Mmm....

Then I got a genius idea. Hold your hat folks, I do not practice normal parenting tactics. Please close your eyes if you do not handle out-of-the-box thinking. One of the hardest concepts for Charlotte to grasp is how to make the tinkle come. She doesn't seem to get how to let the pee out. So, I thought I would show her, outside, on the driveway (secluded area) so she could understand. See, in the bathroom, she can't actually see anything. Well, like TWO MINUTES LATER she squatted in the driveway and made a tinkle. We all cheered and clapped and she got another popsicle. 

After that was gone she wanted a third one and we said she had to tinkle to get one. Well, she squatted again and peed!! So, she got a third popsicle. I thought yes, we are on to something!! She actually peed a third time too. I was so happy. I think Charlotte might actually understand how to make the tinkle come out.

Potty training...........here.......we.......come..............
