Yipee! After 6 years, we no longer have to change poopy and wet diapers. She even wears underwear to bed at night, and has only had a couple of accidents. This time, I made her potty-training a collaborative effort. I decided early on that everyone would celebrate her success with a piece of candy each time she used her potty, so Vincent especially would encourage her very often to use the potty. After a couple of days, she got it! And now, with Annaliese's very independent mindset, along with her being a very capable little girl, my duties as a mother are decreasing. She can even dress and undress herself with very little help (and of course she protests any kind of assistance). I'm realizing how alarmingly fast these little people are growing up....it's a mite sad.
