It's Not My-ine, So It Must Be Ur-ine
We've tried several different rewards in an attempt to get her potty-trained. First it was M&M's, then gummy bears, then gummy worms. After watching her enjoyment at opening presents for her birthday Doni came up with the great idea of wrapping small dollar-store type trinkets and letting her open one each time she went in the potty. Even this hadn't been enough of a motivation to get her to use the potty consistently.
Her bladder had to be full, so we bribed her with a promise that we could watch whatever she wanted if she tried to potty. She sat down without a fight while Doni and I took care of a few things.
Two minutes later.... SUCCESS! She yelled, "I did it!" and pumped both fists in the air. Not one to disappoint, she truly did go potty... and A LOT. I've never been excited over urine. I was trying to award her with praise by dancing and singing a "Ava went potty" song when she said, "STOP STOP STOP.... PRESENT". First things first I guess.
