Well, I thought I should start Emi back on potty training after a month of having the baby. We tried bribing her with all kinds of things from candy, popsicles, princess dresses, princess shoes and so forth. Nothing really worked and I was ready to give up. Then I talked to someone who said that they potty trained their boys by giving them "potty toys" where the only time they could actually play with their toys was on the potty seat. My thought was we tried everything we could think why not give this idea a shot. We knew that she was in her princess stage so we could use princess figurines to accomplish the job. We started maybe two weeks ago and the toys are a big hit with her. For each time she goes potty on the toilet she can choose to have a princess to play with for the day. The start of last week she started with maybe one a day. Today she made it to three times and at the end of the day she actually went a fourth time so she has four all together now! I never thought I would see the day where I could get her to do it on her own, but with a little patience and a few plastic toys Emi is on her way to accomplishing an amazing feat!
(You can tell that this is a big deal for me because I don't think I have ever written this much in a blog entry before.)
