Oh, the joys of parenting a 2-year-old! We pleaded with Brooke for hours today to go on the potty. We tried bribing with M&Ms, suckers, ice cream from McDonalds, and about everything else in the world. Still, nothing. Finally, Holly jokingly said she would give her money. To my surprise, Brooke exhibited a new-found interest in trying!
She said, "money?" in an inquisitive tone as if to verify the deal that was offered. Mommy promised a quarter if she went on the potty. At this point, I told Holly I'd be scared if she went potty now, after all, this could be a troubling trend! Guess what! She ran to the potty, sat down, and went immediately!
After she was done, Holly exclaimed, "We get to go to McDonalds now! Hooray!"
Brooke followed up immediately with, "And get money too! I want money!"
I may need everyone's prayers!!!
