Mommy woke up this morning and decided this was going to be the day. No more diapers for Ella and no more excuses on Mommy's part for the delay in potty training. We have been "introducing the potty" for over a year now, but have never gotten serious or taken the leap to actually letting Ella wear big girl panties. When Ella work up this morning, she got into big girl panties and was told we weren't going to be able to go to the park, go shopping (Ella's favorite activity), or get to go in her pool unless we started going to the potty. There was a LOT of whining and begging for her diaper, which was met with a firm "no, but you can get a treat if you go."
Though all the "experts" say you should not use bribes or rewards to get your kids to do things they SHOULD do, we are not following that rule at our house for potty training. Ella loves prizes, so prizes she will get. Mommy and Daddy are very tired of changing two sets of diapers.
We have stocked up on M&M's, both Ella and Mommy's favorite.
