Potty Training - Take 2

I decided to give potty training another try since I have 2 weeks off from watching Ben. I thought it would be a good time and I good focus on Jasmine. We started last Tuesday and it has been a huge success! The first day we had several accidents, which I wasn't surprised about at all. Then we've only had 3 accidents since then, one of which was my fault. I thought Jasmine was doing her "Hot Dog" dance when she was trying to tell me that she needed to pee. Oops. I'm not surprised that she has gotten the hang of going to the bathroom on the big potty, because I wouldn't have tried if I didn't think she couldn't do it. But, I am impressed with how quickly she has taken to it. Can she go all by herself? - No. Can she even pull down her own pants? - No. But she can tell me when she has to go and I can take her. It will be several more months before she'll be able to go on her own. She's still not tall enough to use a step stool and get on the potty herself (and she refuses to use the little potty I got her). I'm okay with all of that though. We're not having to buy diapers and she likes going on the big toilet (for the most part.) I know we'll still have accidents here and there, but I'm proud of my little girl. She has grown up fast. We are starting week 2 of the potty training and so far it's gone great!

She got a sticker for every hour that she stayed dry.
