Since about day 5 of potty training, Aly has been 'trained' while we are at home or at familiar places (on the go is our newest project). She earned all of her 'pee' stickers very quickly, but the 'poop' stickers took her longer and were like gold! She finally earned her last one last night! The chart is complete! She was so excited and proud of herself! 
Dan, of course, had to take her out after her bath to buy her reward. She has been talking about (and praying about) this play-doh ice cream maker for weeks, but her impulse shopping led her to get moon sand instead...which she calls 'sand moon' no matter how many times we correct her. She was so exhausted from the day she fell asleep on the way home with it in her lap! Precious!
She woke me up at 6:15 AM this morning to play with it. **By the way...don't ever buy it for your kids!! It is colored sand...that you play with indoors!! Who ever invented it did NOT have children of their own!** It made a huge mess and I had to strip her down after playing and throw her socks away! I talked her into 'exchanging' it for the original prize, so we will have to go do that tomorrow!

I think she is like me and really gets satisfaction from checking things off and completing them (it was really interesting her method of placing the stickers where she did)!! Since the chart was so successful and she seems very motivated by earning stickers...tonight we made her a new chart: A Potty on-the-go Chart. This is that part I am really not looking forward to for many reasons. I did buy her a folding travel potty seat though so she won't have to touch public bathrooms. She has already earned her first sticker towards the chart!
