too big for her britches

My dear sweet angel, Lydia Pearl is potty trained. This holiday we decided to attempt it and it was perfect timing. Travis was here to help (okay, he cleaned up most accidents). It is just so nice to have someone there helping. She really did great. Considering she was still "training" when we went to Bass Lake, there were surprisingly few accidents. I am still amazed when I am in a room and hear the potty flush, down the hall. She is quite self-sufficient. She can do it all herself, though I prefer to help with a few cleanup details.
We were offering treats for successful trips to the potty. Yesterday she caught on. She must have "tinkled" 7 times in two hours, always going by herself then coming to tell me she needed a prize.
I don't mind rewarding her. What a fabulous milestone!

I'm so scared of potty training, I won't even think about a time line. When the time comes though, you'll be on my list for suggestions.
