Victory!

the journey has been tough. extreme. for well over a year, little hallie has had major difficulty going potty. at times, she spent hours sobbing and clenched. we had tried everything and were one step away from seeing a specialist when we decided to give potty training one last go.

this last week, many days were spent like this:

and.....in less than a week--the kiddo is potty trained! the psychological barrier has broken and she is officially a "big girl". she picked out brand new panties and has had her eye on this little robot for around 6 months. after being successful with a potty reward system, she marched down those aisles in Target and brought it home. meet our new robot, alphie.
