This morning I was awakened to the tune of "Mommy, I need to potty!" I was so excited that I rushed out of bed brought the baby to the potty and Yep!! she did it. So we did our little song and dance. She was rewarded with her M&M's (yes, it was early but I am trying to be consistent, plus she only gets like 4 anyway). Thinking the day was getting off to a good start, with her especially. Then about an hour later she used the potty in her pull up. So now I am little confused.
It was later determined that she probably wanted M&M's for breakfast. She woke up and thought M&M's, I got to use the potty. So, she had her fix and was no longer interested in the potty because she didn't need anymore M&M's. She is too smart. I know M&M's are not the best choice, but its her currency. Stickers, she is not too big on, but candy, which she doesn't get often, now you are speaking her language. Maybe I need to change the currency, I don't know, but I won't give up.
(Oh and for the record she did actually have a real breakfast, M&M's were not the only thing she ate this morning, I'm not that bad.)
She did do ok so far today. I just have to figure out a way to outsmart the chick. Strategy here. I never thought that I would have to outsmart a 2 year old. She is willing to use the potty, just on her terms.
I guess I will have to outwit, outplay, outlast. It is too late to turn back now!!!
LOL, way to go.. You have to master how her logic works.. ;)
