Potty training - the final frontier

And so it begins. I've got the little potty and the one that fits on the big potty. I've got pull-ups, training underwear, big kid Dora underwear and vinyl underwear covers. My rewards include stickers, high fives and mini M&M's. I've got a training video for girls that includes the song "Bye, Bye Pee, pee. Bye, Bye Poo" with complementing book and doll with little potty that matches the video. My arsenal is full - if only she'd cooperate! We actually made some big strides in the couple weeks we started this and considering we've been extremely busy. Being very impatient by nature, I was going to give up the whole thing but we've turned a corner and now she wants to go on the big potty, has control of her bladder and has kept pretty dry all day. I realize this may go on for awhile with little improvement but I'm hopeful! She's very independent by nature and so this may work in my benefit with the potty "learning" as they now refer to it.
