So far, Rebekah has practically potty trained herself. I've offered praise and encouragement, but she's supplied the desire. She stayed dry all day yesterday! She went potty more than 4 times. I had to do some redirecting when she started cleaning it up by herself. Only Mommy or Daddy dump it!
Her motivation has been a piece of candy. Each time she goes potty, we give her one of those tiny tootsie rolls - grape flavored. We may have come to the end of that practice! By the time she went to bed last night, she was headed to the potty at least once an hour. It doesn't seem worth my time to empty a tablespoon of potty into the toilet! And her last attempt came up dry.
So the candy will have to be used only for the back end of the problem. The part she hasn't mastered yet. The REAL reason we want her potty trained...if you catch a whiff of my meaning!
That was fast! Good Job!
