Such a big girl!

Rachel is certainly proud of herself! She eyed a princess suitcase a few months back and we told her we would buy it for her if she used the toilet. Well, about a month ago she changed her mind and wanted a Dora suitcase. :) I told the store clerk to not even bother with a bag. Rachel was ready to wheel her suitcase around. She was quite disappointed when we reached the car, but I was able to appease her by letting her hold it in her lap. So, one bag of M&Ms down and a Dora suitcase, and we can call it a success! Rachel was a pretty quick learner. It's only been a week and she hasn't had an accident since Saturday. Since Monday, when she wakes up in the morning she promptly tells me, "I want panties. No more diapers. I'm a big girl!". So, we quickly put panties on and she's ready to go for the day. We haven't attempted night training yet, but we'll get there eventually... I have to say that Rachel is going to look pretty darn cute in March when we come home and she's wheeling her Dora suitcase through the airport! :)
