Bribing your kids

It's all about the bribery.

Natalya has been peeing on the potty regularly (if she's not wearing bottoms) and occasionally she'll ask to take her diaper off to go pee. BUT she had stopped pooping on the potty and started asking to have a diaper on to go poop. grrr.

I had a coupon for some of those cottonelle flushable wipes and they have some for kids with doggies on them. I bought some of those and now when she goes poop on the potty, she gets to wipe her bottom with the doggie wipes.

IT WORKS!!

She has pooped in the potty every day since we got them. She just came to me and said, "mommy! It's dark in there, come turn light on" and she was talking about the bathroom- so I walked with her to the bathroom and she said "look mommy- poo-poo in the potty". Sure enough- poo in the potty! WOOOOHOOOO
So we got out the doggie wipes (which I have to hide in the top shelf of the closet or she finds them) and she was so excited! Then we did the poo-poo in the potty dance- and she is walking around singing "poo-poo in the potty" and dancing.

*whew* a bribe that works and doesn't involve candy!

It's amazing the things you come up with as a parent. But if it's one less diapr I have to change, we're doing good. She runs around naked at least half the day so she can practice with the potty. :) Now, just to get her to figure out how to pull down panties/trainers to go. She hasn't quite gotten that figured out yet.
