The things we say to our kids

Background: Mimi received a Dora sample pull up in the mail,brought it over & it came with a sheet of Dora/Diego stickers.
Last night Mommy says to Brooklyn "Oh Wow, Brooklyn!!! DORA sent you a very special pull up. It has her picture on it!! How special is that!!! But Dora only sent ONE, so if you want to keep wearing your Dora pull up, you're going to have to make sure you don't have any accidents & put all the pee-pee in the potty tomorrow."

So, she wakes up this morning, asking if she can wear her Dora pull up & I told her she could after we go potty this morning. Dora was on within 5 minutes. Off I go to work, crossing my fingers she tells Sean when she has to potty today. Fast forward 8 hours & I come home to a napping Brooklyn. I woke her up as it was time to rise & shine, & she says 'hi mommy, can I put Dora on now? (she wears a diaper during naptime.....with Sean.) I couldn't BELIEVE it! There sat her Dora pull up on her dresser, still dry!!! She didn't tell him when she had to potty, but did go every time her took her in to try. And to top it off, she went potty twice more with me since I've been home. Dora is still dry & on her dresser.
