It's potty time....

So one week ago today I decided to give potty training a go.  
Samantha seemed ready.  
The question was- was I? 
We went to Target and bought all the goods- Elmo potty seat, juice boxes, potty prizes, and underwear (lets talk about how I only purchased one bag with 7 pairs in it.  7 pairs people.  In what world would I only need 7 pairs?!) It was apparent that after 14 accidents on day one (I know because we went through each pair twice!  Luckily it was laundry day) that I would need more.  
By day two we were down to 5 accidents.
By day 3, we were accident free and dry at nap time.
Now on day 7 we are doing great.  Leaving the house even.
True to Samantha's nature, she adapted to change very quickly.  
Now I just have to get her out of the habit of expecting chocolate chips every time she pees and a Popsicle every time she poops.
Oh yeah, and keep her from falling in.  Watching her climb onto the toilet is like a gymnastics routine, and yes, she insists on doing it all by herself.
