potty training

i recently heard a statistic that most child abuse starts around the potty training season...don't be alarmed.  I am not thinking about EVER abusing my children.  However, I am remembering the frustrations of potty training.  And even more so...because Annie was so quickly trained, I have had to learn great patience (thanks, God!) while potty training Kait.  

She is doing SO much better though.  I have tried and tried to find a reward system for her that would work...  She doesn't care much for prizes, or candy, or special treats.  But I FINALLY found something that works for her...and it's hilarious...PENNIES!  I got her a tootsie roll bank for Easter..well, the Easter bunny got it for her..  She loves earning pennies to put in her bank, so I have been giving her a penny when she pees in the potty and two pennies for #2.  In the last two days, she has only had one accident, and that was on a day when she was sick!  I almost hate to brag because I have no idea what tomorrow holds!!  However, i am SO VERY PROUD of her..okay, and a little proud of myself too.  I have stayed patient, with God's help!!

Thanks to all of you for your prayers for our family!  They help with every part of our lives...even potty-training!  

Love you!
