Potty Chart = Total Bust

I have to take a step back and laugh at myself.

For the last few weeks I have been obsessed with potty training.  And by obsessed, I mean, internally obsessed.  Well, maybe not so internal actually.  But whatever.  I just feel like time is of the essence and I've got to get this girl potty trained well before new baby arrives.

I feel like I have done all the right things.  And we will have a bit of progress (3 times on the potty last Friday, for instance) and then a total regression/refusal of all things panties/potty/big girl related.

So I had a brilliant idea to make a potty chart for Annie.  Every time she potties she can put a super cool princess sticker on her chart. When she get 5 stickers she gets a treat.  Brilliant, right?
Yesterday after work I made a fancy sign for her that says "Annie's Big Girl Potty Chart" complete with potty clipart found in Word. Ha.  I'm so excited to show her.  I stop by Toys-r-us and pick up some really cool stickers, an Arial princess doll for the bathtub/pool, and some princess ring pops.  
Yall, I was excited!  I hung up her chart right above her potty and put her treats on the counter so she can see them.  I couldn't wait to show her.
The second she walks in the door she bee-lines for the treats.  " I want those.  I want candy", she says.  So I gingerly explain to her the rules of getting the treats.

Me: Annie if you pee pee in the potty you can get a sticker to put on your potty chart.  When you get 5 stickers you can have your treats.
Annie: I want candy {{whiney voice}}
Me: You can have the candy when you pee pee on your potty.
Annie: I want candy {{whining turning into tears}}
Me: You can have the candy when you pee pee on your potty.
Annie: No, I don't want to.  I WANT CANDY!!! {{full blown crying eyes out hysteria}}

TOTAL BUST!  I finally had to put away the candy and the chart. Anthony, Dolly and I took turns calming her down and cheering her back up.  I basically ruined the whole evening.  Yall I felt like I was on reality TV.  Like I was getting punked.  My feelings were so hurt and I felt like the biggest idiot.  I was just so excited about my damn sticker chart.  Obviously she isn't ready.
