Potty Sucker

As I've mentioned before, P2 is doing really well with her potty training, and she rarely has wet panties. She does; however, not really care if she has dirty panties, which is too bad because those are the worst to clean up. The other day I got an idea though. I bought a bag of suckers and filled a flower vase with the suckers and set it out on the island for all to see. Obviously P1 and P2 were excited when they saw them, and immediately wanted one, but I told them that they would only get one if P2 went #2 on the potty. I did this on a Monday, and on Tuesday and Wednesday, we did not have any luck. BUT on Thursday, when I went to pick the girls up from school, both of them came running to me to tell me that "Paxten poopied on the potty!!!!"  Of course, they both got a sucker when we got home. Since that day, they have both received a sucker (or two) 4 out of 5 days! The funny thing now is that P2 rarely even finishes her sucker, but she gets so excited that she's going to get a "purple sucker" (even though we're out of purple). Here is a pic of the vase and a picture of the girls enjoying their reward for P2's "getting it." They really are best friends and do everything together now, which is awesome to see. I love 'em!
