Potty Training Makes You do Crazy Things...

When your 2 year old wakes up asking you to sing the "Happy Dry Panties" song, You've know you've crossed the line in potty training techniques. But amazingly, our spur of the moment idea has worked for the past week. Night one of dry panties had us doing an impromptu version of "Happy Birthday to You." complete with a candle in Lexie's mashed potatoes for having dry panties for a whole day. The next day she woke up asking for the candle,and the next day, and the next. The whole family has gotten into the act, and last night we had 5 candles in her baked ziti for each dry day. Lexie was so excited. She woke up this morning singing the dry panties song to herself. Should I be worried that at the next birtday party we attend, my whole family may inadvertently start singing, "Happy dry Panties, to you?" Well, I'm willing to take that risk....whatever works!!! I'm planning on posting some more recent pictures in the next few days. maybe I'll post one of the whole family singing to Lexie as she blows out her candles. And just for the record, if you try this at home, candles don't stand up very well in a mound of corn, or baked ziti!
