Joye's A Big Girl Now!

Joye decided that going to the potty was her idea. She does awesome, she hasn't had one accident in her unders (I hope I don't jinx her). I put a diaper on her at night when we started using the potty just in case. After about 2 nights she wouldn't wear a diaper, she just wanted her unders. She has done so good, no new sheets! It is so nice not having anymore diapers!!!! I had to do some bribing though. I took her to Wal-Mart and bought some princess pull-ups. I told her I wasn't going to buy anymore diapers, these were her last ones. She cried and said she wanted Princess! So I told her we would buy her princess unders (I had already tried Elmo and Mickey Mouse unders, so I wasn't banking on these princess unders) Then I took her to the bikes, (She always wants to ride with the boys) and told her if she uses the Big Girl Potty, I'll buy her a bike. I took the bike off the rack, put her on it, and let her ride it up and down the aisle. Then I took her off and put the bike back, and told her when she uses the big girl potty it's hers. She of course was screaming, "My Bike!!! My Bike!!!" as we walked away. Every time we were in Wal-Mart we'd walk past the bikes, she'd tell us which one was hers. Wanting that bike is what did it for her. Aunt Mi-A gave Joye, Raimee's old elbow pads and knee pads. They have princesses on them. One morning Joye got up with her princess unders on and made me put on her pads, and kept asking me for her bike. She's ready! We need to get to the store to get her that bike. Yay Joye!!! We are so proud of you!

My Big Girl Joye!
