Day Three: Bribery Will Get You EVERYWHERE!

Potty training continues in our household and while, yes, I was frustrated this morning when I woke up, the day got so much better.

Especially when my husband bribed my daughter to go pee in the potty... and she listened!

Then it happened again, I told her if she wanted a piece of the yummy pumpkin cake we had made together that she had to go pee pee on the potty... and she did!

We did have two accidents today, one totally being my fault, but today was so much better than the past two days.

Today has given me that spark of hope that this can be done!

It won't be done in two days, hell, it might not even be done at the end of the week or month. But we will get it done.

My daughter will be potty trained, even if I have to bribe her the whole way.

Bribe away. Potty training is and remains the only major place we have instituted a blanket policy of bribery. It worked beautifully.

I am a Mom (Brenda) who invented Potty Training Rewards. I believe children need
praise in every aspect of their lives including potty training. PTR offers this
praise followed by a fruit chew reward. Please view my online demo at
www.pottytrainingrewards.com If you decide to order, email me your order number and
I will be happy to send you an additional one FREE. Being a Mom this is my way of
helping other Mother's with potty training.
