Big news in our household: Avery has now graduated from pull-ups to panties. Miss Avery just loves picking out what panties she's going to wear for the day. The problem is she just doesn't love keeping the same pair clean and dry all day long. After two weeks of 1-2 accidents a day, to enourage her to use the potty every time, we implemented a reward system where at the end of the day, if she has no accidents, Avery gets to choose a prize from a bag o' prizes. I mostly hit the $1 aisle at Target to stock the bag, but the goodies do include DVDs and art supplies. Avery was immediately keen to the new reward system and earned a prize the first day we started.

For her first prize, Avery chose a Rudolph watercolor book. She just loves anything art related and got busy immediately painting. This photo perfectly captures her "concentration face" with her tongue sticking out of her mouth.

Hopefully the prizes will be incentive enough to keep Avery on track at school when we are not around to remind her to use the potty. If not, I will just keep the "Charlie Brown Christmas" DVD all to myself. No one has to know!
