Belle Doll

We have told Anna that if she has bone dry panties for three days in a row, she can get a Belle doll. She has always come so close to 3 completely dry days but then she has a tiny tinkle or a slight accident. Usually it's nothing severe, on a rare occasion she'll wet through her panties onto her pants, but our goal is completely bone dry panties during the day because we feel that she is completely capable of doing it.

Well yesterday she got to get her Belle doll for a different reason......

In the middle of Kate's cheerleading practice, Anna went up to Kate and told her she had to go potty. Kate brought Anna to the door and Grama took Anna all the way downstairs to go potty. When they got there Anna had completely dry panties and she went a whole lot. This really amazed us all since she was totally involved in cheerleading practice. Grama was worried that since she hadn't gone in a while that she would have a puddle by her foot since she was enjoying cheering so much. But since she was a big girl and stopped having fun to go potty, we thought she should be rewarded for doing the right thing in a new situation.

So when I asked her who she wanted to take her to the store, either mommy or daddy, she answered Papa. So Papa, mommy and Anna headed to the Disney Store at Oak Park Mall after dinner.

On the ride there she kept asking, "Are we almost there?" And when we got to the mall she kept saying "almost to Belle" and "I hear Belle saying momma, momma!" My fingers were crossed that the Disney store had the Belle she wanted in stock. Sure enough, they did.

When we walked up to the store she saw a HUGE cut out head of mickey mouse and her jaw dropped. When we walked into the store you would have thought we were in disney world. Her little eyes were looking at the place as if it were magic. She was totally in awe of all the princess stuff around the store and when we saw the belle doll she ran to it and never let her go.

Papa was trying to buy something else for her but she kept saying "no my belle doll." I think she was confused and thought we were trying to get her to buy something instead of her Belle doll. Papa really wanted to get her a Belle yellow gown but they didn't have her size in stock. So we are ordering it tonight online. Beware world, my daughter may faint when she sees this dress.
As we were leaving I asked Anna what she wanted when she went 3 days in a row with dry panties. Her response? "Snow White; Belle's best friend." I can't wait when we go back again for Snow White.

As we were leaving the mall, my dad and I got some gelato. Anna helped herself to bites of my ice cream and Papa got her her very own cookie icing sandwich. We sat on the couches at the mall entrance and ate our goodies with Belle and Anna's huge smile!

What a special night it was for Anna and it was pretty cool to watch her excitement the entire time.

 
Much Love,
