Checklist

* Two potties, one upstairs and one downstairs

* A stack of potty training underpants

* A stack of Disney Princess underpants (rewards for doing well)

* 'Wee Friend' sticker that goes on bottom of potty and makes a picture when peed on

* Jar of Smarties (like M&Ms) for rewards

* Gold star stickers and potty chart with symbols for pulling pants up and down, sitting on the potty, doing a wee, doing a poo and washing hands. Since Rosie can't read I used Clipart images for everything but had to draw images of poo and wee. Who says motherhood isn't creative.

* Numerous books next to potties including 'Everybody Poops' and 'The Lift the Flap Potty Book'

* Timer to insure potty is used at least once every hour

* Pet deodorising cleaner to clean accidents off carpet and furniture

* Gin, tonic, lemons and ice which I will need for strictly medicinal purposes tonight
