The right motivation

We are on round three of potty training. We almost had it a while back but then a nasty virus and lots of diarrhea lead to going back to a diaper. We gave up on it for a while as she refused to go on the potty. We tried stickers, along with a sticker chart. We tried skittles. Worked a few times and then the same result - refusing to go.

Then, I decided to try another treat - chocolate - womens favorite thing!!! Mom just has to stay out of it long enough for her to get some.

The result this time? She is potty training. She loves it and gets excited for her two M & M's for going pee and 4 for poo (although we have not hit that point yet.) The only catch this time? She refuses to wear big girl underwear. She wants to still wear a diaper, but she will keep it dry except for pooping (which actually I don't mind because it is easier to clean her up then.)

I am hoping this motivation will continue and we will soon get her into big girl underwear and be done with it:)
