Success, one day at a time

Success for Gemma: wearing underwear and staying dry! 

She is an "old pro" now for staying dry and using the toilet during the day, and still working on staying dry all night. One reward system we used for training were these sticker charts (using Dora stickers; Dora is a new favorite character of hers) where 5 stickers equals a surprise. The first chart was what we used at the very beginning, and she received stickers for every time she went on the toilet. The grand prize was an ice cream cone at McDonald's. 

After that chart filled up, we made a second chart for dry naps and nights. When that filled up, she got this beautiful pink tutu (hand-me-down from Lillian - thank you so much!!!!). Dance heaven for this little ballerina! When she first put on the tutu, she looked up at me and said, "Mommy, I need a hair bow." (!)

Here's Gemma giving an explanation of the charts.

Hurrah! Marvelous job for Gemma!
