hehe I bet she's having more fun than you.... at the moment but it will be wonderful when you hit the aimed mark! :)

For Eric we used a sticker chart and he got one every time he didn't wet the bed.

Happy said...

How sweet are those bracelets!? It's so cute that she is such a girly girl!

And congrats on the potty success...every little bit counts!

Annie said...

Beautiful bracelets. Maybe I will do this with my girls since I have two horribles attempts with potty training.

Stopping from 7 clowns.

Tara said...

Great idea.... Yeah for potty training. I just finally got the twins trained...officially. We're completely out of diapers for the first time in years...kind of sad....but so nice too!

Julie Harward said...

Who says bribery/bracelets don't work?! LOL My daughter is trying to think of a motivation for her little boy too. :D

Kacey R. said...

Ooooh bracelets! Great thinking!

Jenny said...

hooray! Yay for potty training and pretty jewelry. Cute pic too.

Elaine A. said...

Looks like progress is being made! WAHOO!

Love the bribery! Our prizes were trains :-)!

BoufMom9 said...

WOOHOO! My daughter Emma has finally decided to "get it" as well! I'm so excited, so i know EXACTLY how you are feeling and it's totally worthy of braceletts!

Happy WW!

Cara @ Angel's Kisses said...

Very pretty things! We just started "potty training" with Bug a while ago. Well, he started himself. He knows what to do, he just has to understand the why's and when's at this point.

Thanks for stopping by my site! Oh yes, he has grown much too quickly for Mommy's heart of mixed emotions!

Have a wonderful week!

Tiaras said...

Michelle said...

Jen @ One Moms World said...

Shop with Me Mama said...

Pippa said...

If I go in the potty do I get a bangle too?!

Dominique said...

That's a swell idea of a reward for potty training.. it makes me think what I need to do for my #2 and his potty training.

Run DMT said...

Well, that is just brilliant! Wish I had known about this a year or so ago!

Thanks for stopping by yesterday. Come back and visit again. :-)

Woohoo...that's great!

sheila said...

Awesome! What a wonderful post! Cute!

The Real Me! said...

OH potty training is a big hurdle but I have to tell you that my 3rd child learned in only 2 days with only 2 accidents. He totally shocked us because he was our "hard" baby! LOL So in other words don't blame yourself if she isn't "getting" it right away. All kids are different. My other two were a lot harder.
Keep up the good work with her!

gianna said...

a little bling can go a long way! potty training is crazy! my mother in law always likes to say, "who's being trained, mommy or baby?" and i always think, "what?!" just keep at it. she WILL get it and it will be so awesome when she does!

Twincerely,Olga said...

aww!!Great pic! Hope she gets all done soon!!

Leonard Family said...

Beautiful bracelets! Awesome motivator. I have to find something to motivate my daughter and stick to it. She's 2.

Happy WW & Happy Veterans Day!!

Kat @ For the Love of Chaos said...

Awww what cool little bangles! What kid wouldn't wanna go potty for those?! haha

Susie said...

That's an awesome reward!! Better than candy:-)

Momisodes said...

Looks like she's doing a great job! Keep up the good work :) The reward system is awesome.

Farmgirl Paints said...

You are so smart...you'd think you've done this one or twice before or something;) Brilliant idea! Potty training in our house was always very trying for me. Should have pulled out some colorful bracelets!

Jac @ Wuzzle Makes Three said...

That is the best potty training "reward" I have ever seen! So much better than Candy!

CallanNMasonsMama said...

Yay!!! Good for her!

mom24 said...

Ooooooo! My dd loves ANYTHING rainbow and ANYTHING jewelry! You dd must be soooo excited to be a big girl and as a mom, I'm so excited for YOU - lol!
Awesome!

Jessie said...

great shot. Ours was a baby - whatever works right?

Oysterblogger said...

totally cool! I am so party to the bribing thing. My first son got a collection of Thomas the trains and my other son got all the "cars"...My daughter didnt need bribing so that was lucky but I love the bracelets!!!!
Also I didn't know you had fibro! I have it too!! It kills me to have babies but i want another one...I figure the small sacrifice for a human being is worth it. I have gone on a diet for the first time in five years cutting out all the crap so my body can heal itself. Notice how on my header that is me sitting in bed? FIBRO!! I don't do that anymore but that characterized a portion of my life mothering from bed when my kids were littleer. Glad you are finally running things!!! P.S. love your constantly evolving blog!

Amy Whitley said...

That's a good motivator! And makes for a nice, colorful photo!

Laura said...

Love the shots & bracelet idea for potty training! I used a sticker book and "jelly bean" jar for two of my daughters :-) Whatever works!

Michelle said...

What a great motivator for a little girl! Such a clever mom!
