She earned her first M&M's!

This post falls under the category of Things I do now that I could not have imagined doing before having kids.

Monroe started talking about going potty and wanting to sit on the big girl chair at about 18 months.  We didn't want to push the issue (it was obviously early), so we never made a big deal of it.  We just let her sit on the potty when she asked.  Once we would sit her down, she would count to ten and then say, "All done!  M&M's?"  We would then remind her that she only got M&M's if she went potty.  

After church today, Zach noticed that she was dry, so he took her in and set her on her potty chair.  We sat and read a book for a few minutes.  All the sudden Monroe jumped and got a scared look on her face.  I looked down, and then I started freaking out, which scared Monroe even more.  She had gone potty in the potty chair for the first time.  Zach went and got the M&M's, we had a dance party, and we took pictures.  We obviously have a long way to go, but we are now passed the first time.
