It seems that the bathroom gets the most action these days. I decided to try the sticker chart thing with Gabriela to see if that would be enough to motivate her to go potty. We've probably been trying for almost a year now. She's smart enough, has the know how, but I just can't keep her motivated to keep doing it. That is...until now. She actually took to the chart and we've been going strong. She actually started going on her own on the second day and pooped in the potty for the first time in her life...by herself. I just wanted to jump up and down and shout for joy! She was pretty proud of herself too. She sports around in her princess underwear and actually came out of her room dressed like this. Miguel asked her if she was going to work at a bar? She obviously didn't get it, but I thought it was pretty funny. Watch out Coyote Ugly, here she comes!
Since there is so much action in the bathroom, Sophia takes advantage of it. For months now, whenever she hears the bathroom door open she bolts over there as fast as her legs will carry her. She has found a new favorite spot as shown. She sits in the sink and steals our toothbrushes. She also really loves my contact case for some reason and totes it around the house.
This next photo is Sophia once she realized Gabriela got a treat for going Potty. She can turn it on and off instantaneously. Once she got a piece of candy she stopped immediately. I'm sure all of your kids do the same.
The next day, I found the girls like this again. Gabriela sees Sophia and decides to join her. Who's the big sister again? She seems to want to do everything Sophia does.

Great pictures! That picture of Gabriela is a keeper! I'm really happy for you with the potty training. I've decided that taking one to the potty is a whole lot better than changing poopy diapers. Although, there are plenty of gross things about letting a 3 year old into a public bathroom. The other day at Target, Blake had to go and when he heard someone next to him going, he said "Mom, what's that sound? Is someone going peepy and poopy?". I was so embarrassed! I just quietly said, yes and tried to keep from laughing out loud.
Great job Lindsay!

Lindsay, this is hilarious. Do your girls just climb up the drawers into the sinks? How funny. Congrats on your potty training success.
Hahaha! You are in EXACTLY the same stage I was in about 2 years ago. With one exception--Lauren liked to sit in the toilet, not the sink. And when I say in, I mean IN! They are so cute and look like such good friends.
haha! I have a feeling that cowboy boots and undies shot will comeback to haunt her someday - it's way to awesome.
