Clarity

So Lila is basically potty trained, except that at naps and bedtime she still wears a diaper.  I thought I should start moving her toward being totally potty trained, so I told her before naptime today that if she went all through naptime without tinkling in her diaper she could have some M&M's.  To this she responded, "Do we really have M&M's?"  Once I responded that I was not lying to her and that we did indeed have M&M's, she became extremely excited to earn them.

I knew that Lila was awake from her nap because I heard her knocking on her door and asking, "Elsa?"  I went up to get her out, and right when I opened the door I quickly smelled the delightful smell of a dirty diaper.  Lila had a huge smile on her face, and exclaimed, "Mom! I didn't tinkle! I can have M&M's!"  I confusedly said, "But Lila, you pooped."  The smile got even bigger, and she replied, "I know! I didn't tinkle!"

It's Like Climbing a Tree

Johnny went in to get Lila up from her nap a few days ago.  When he walked into the room, he couldn't find her.  After calling her name, Lila drew the curtains to her closet and revealed that she had spent the entire nap time on top of some Rubber Made containers filled with old clothes.  When Johnny asked her why she was on top of them she responded, "I can't get down."
