Ups and downs.

Just when you think that potty training is going so well, you find it, some poopy in the house, hidden upstairs.  Heidi is a sneaky little thing, you think she's right behind you, but suddenly she is gone.  She can be really quiet when she wants to.  She can also be really noisy when she wants to - normally when she is trying to egg on Izzy to play with her. 

I put the little jingle bells on the door to encourage Heidi to signal when she needs to go outside.  It didn't take her long to figure out the bells.  Now, whenever she wants to go outside, she rings the bells.  The problem is, she wants to go outside all the time, not just to potty.  She goes outside to potty, comes back in, rings the bells, goes outside to play, comes back in, rings the bells again, goes outside to dig in the snow, comes back in, rings the bells....  So much for the bells.
