Dare I say it?

I think Mackenzie is well on her way to being diaper free! On Thursday she decided she would rather wear underwear than her diaper and she has been diaper free ( except while sleeping) ever since! That's three whole days with no accidents at all! When she goes to the bathroom she gets a " little treat" ( a Hershey's kiss- I tried giving her just a regular kiss but she's more motivated by chocolate). She has even been waking up from nap dry so I am hoping to be down to just one diaper at night with in the next week.

We are so proud of her and she is proud of herself! She has always liked privacy when going #2 . I wondered how this would effect her potty training. Much to my relief, she seems happier to use the potty than to go in her diaper she just pretends that I am not there:
Along with potty training, Mackenzie has been blossoming in other areas, too. She's been learning how to play on her own for longer periods of time which sometimes makes for a lonely mommy but is a good sign for her developing independence. Her room was eerily quiet a few days ago and this is how I found her:

She "read" every book on the shelf and played in her room for nearly an hour! She is back in book mode, something that I noticed had been lacking over the last few weeks. Here she is reading her favorite book with her favorite guy:
Monkey see monkey...try to do. Mack trying to use chop sticks like her daddy:
