Potty training is hands down the WORST part of toddler-hood. After 3 boys, I was sure one little girl would be no problem.
"girls are so much easier," you all said.
"she should be potty trained before she turns 2," you all said.
"my little girl potty trained herself, I didn't have to do a thing but supply the undies," you all said.
How very foolish we were.
When it comes to potty training, this girl is kickin' my butt. (no pun intended)
After many moons and puddles, we have the #1 thing down. She is a pro and I am sooo proud.
Say it with me to the tune of Hip Hip Hooray,
No more diapers! No more diapers! No more diapers!
However,
The #2 issue is not going so well. She totally COULD do it, she just won't.
She is that kind of a girl.
But I have discovered the secret weapon.
Everybody has a currency, (says Dr. Phill) and it turns out Lue's currency is Barbie movies. I told her she could have a brand new Barbie movie if she would only just poop in the potty. So what does my little angel do? Goes right in the bathroom and goes!
#1 and #2!
There was some serious dancing and cheering and Barbie movie watching.
So now I have about 50 bucks worth of Barbie movies sitting on top of my fridge for every time she goes #2.
AND IT"S TOTALLY WORKING!!!!
Best 50 bucks I ever spent.
Hooray for Lucy!
and for you too!
love shell
Go Lucy! Literally.
