Potty Watch

We've had a pretty successful day with potty training today, and we might have to give credit to this new watch that Madison is wearing. It's called the "Potty Watch," and it can be set to go off every 30, 60, or 90 minutes. It plays a little tune when it goes off, and that tune is there to remind Madison that it is time to go potty. It has gone off in restaurants, at church, at the new house and at home - and every time it goes off, we race to the bathroom because it's potty time!

Seriously, this has been working pretty good since we put it on Madison yesterday. Not only that, but she likes having it on her. It's a fashionable pink watch, and when she wears it, she looks like Mommy, Daddy - and even Ye-Ye. Yesterday, when she saw Ye-Ye wearing his watch, she was quick to point hers out as well. Of course, at this moment, she might possibly think that everyone is wearing one of these on their wrists to indicate their own individual potty time. We'll have to straighten that one out later!

Here's a photo of Madison checking out the election results for today. Yes, we voted again today in yet another run-off. This makes the fourth time we've voted for one particular candidate in the last five months or so. I think we have to vote for him again in November, which would make five times. Madison likes the electoral process and is keenly interested in everyone doing their civic duty, primarily because she gets a little sticker after we vote. That's four stickers so far this year. One more to go, unless there's a run-off.

We visited the new house again today, and Mommy made arrangements for the floors to be refinished on the main floor. It should look nice and shiny! Daddy lugged a bunch of stuff over there and put out the trash for the first time.

Uh-oh. The potty watch just went off. We've got to remember to shut off the alarm feature after Madison goes to bed!
