Charts

I picked Jennie up from Apple nursery today and noticed her pants were backwards, then noticed her obviously diaper-free bum and asked the ladies how that went. They knew nothing of the situation, and said that her pants were backwards the whole time. "Jennie, where is your diaper?" I asked and she confidently led me to the miniature toilet and there it was in the garbage can, a totally unfolded (an adult would never throw it away like that) diaper. Sure enough, she took off her diaper and stayed dry at least most of the 2 hours she was in there. I then went grocery shopping with her just in pants and she made it home and ran straight to the toilet. So today is the day. A clean stack of underwear is on top of our toilet and a chart is taped to the wall and she wants a puppy when she's done.

Stuffed of course.

Jennie's chart made everyone want a chart, so Dalton has a piano practice and scripture chart. Joe has a shower and homework chart. Sophia has a 1 outfit a day and bed-making chart.

My sticker pad is sacred right now.

Jennie just wet the bathroom rug. I hope this isn't another Sophia repeat... I can't handle this for another 3 years.

Lol! love the 1 outfit a day chart! Both of my kids need one of those... I'll give Lydia a pass for the time being!

Puppy reward/ "stuffed, of course". Did I pass on my non-pet household to your family, or will you eventually cave in to a puppy that will pee & poop on your carpet? Don't worry.... If your family won't clean up after the puppy, you can always resort to kicking off the kitchen cabinet doors. Enjoy Jennie's potty training.

I think my Kate needs a one-oufit-a-day chart! What a great idea. And maybe I need a bed made chart. If I got a little star each time I made it maybe I'd make it more often....Hmmmm...nope, but maybe for a piece of chocolate. :)
