Pinkie and the Potty Chart

Aunt Stacy brought over a little gift for Hails the other day and it has become her very favorite stuffed animal! She named it herself...fittingly, her name is Pinkie. (What else do you name a pink colored monkey?!? :)

We've worked on several Bible verses over the past 6 months or so, but recently Hailey has lacked motivation to learn new ones. Hence, our new chart system! She LOVES stickers, so when I told her that every time she said her verses (with or without my help, of course) she got to put a sticker on her chart her heart lept for joy and she became a verse-reciting machine!! We wrote them out on poster-board and hung them above her bed.

Then we hung the chart on the wall, too. This is just what she's recited since this afternoon.

We've also really turned a corner with the potty-training (PTL!!!), so we've made a potty chart, too. She gets one sticker for going "pee-pee potty" and two stickers for "poo-poo potty" and one BIG sticker when she goes the whole day with no accidents. When she fills the line she gets to pick out a prize from the "potty prize bag"! (which is filled with Target dollar-section items!! Thank you, Target! :)

I'm slightly afraid to write this for fear of jinxing it, but in three days of wearing big-girl undies she has only had ONE accident! Including today's nap!! I'll be keeping the unopened box of Pull-Ups I just bought just in case, but hoping I can return them and get my $25 bucks back!! :)

ETA: Pinkie is Hailey and Hailey is me. Today while she was playing, she dropped her book on Pinkie. She then ever-so-dramatically picked her up, squeezed her tight in her arms and said, "I'm sorry, Pinkie! I'm so sorry! You forgive me??" while "fake crying" over her. ;)
