Today was the first day of our second attempt at potty training and it went pretty good. Penelope woke up about 9am and I took off her pj's and left her naked from the waist down. All morning I asked her if she needed to use the potty and kept reminding her to let me know if she needed to go...nothing. Every time I went she followed and sat on her potty...still nothing. Finally at about 12:45 I was checking my email when Pen comes running in my room saying "mommy mommy pee pee potty." I assumed that meant she was ready to go so we both rushed to the bathroom and what did I find? The smart little girl had already made pee pee in her potty all by herself! I was so excited! We danced and sang and she got stickers and Pen was so happy. She took her nap at 2pm and I put a diaper on her while she slept. When she woke up at 5pm she had gone in her diaper so again I took it off and it was back to being naked. The rest of the evening she did not go.

The dog on the other hand is a different story. I thought I would start letting her out of her crate longer today and even though I kept letting her outside so she could "go" she still had two accident today. UGH! I think little dogs are just stubborn.

I flattened some bread and spread cream cheese and turkey on it and made her little Pinwheel Sandwiches. She has a thing for "chippys" right now so I gave her some "Carrot Chips". She is starting to develop a potato chip addiction like her mommy, must be genetic, but I gotta try and squash it early before it gets out of control. :) She also had sliced Strawberries which are currently her favorite fruit. 
Doesn't it look like fun? We really had a good time and to top it off we came home with some goodies! Mom bought me the slow cooker and Brita water pitcher I have been wanting and Penelope got a beautiful painting my sister made for her (I will post a pic of that tomorrow) and an art easel. We happened to come across a yard sale where they were selling a
