The other day, while playing "babysitter", a game which involves me being the babysitter and Hannah being the mother giving me instructions (some verbatim from actual interactions with the babysitter and some straight out of the mind of a three year-old), Hannah informed me that her baby was wearing underwear because she could use the potty. She further informed me that when this baby used the potty I was to give her Smarties, purple foaming soap, and stickers for her special potty paper. She allowed that the baby might still pee through the bed and provided a specific blanket I was to use to put under her if that occurred.
So there you have it: Hannah has successfully potty trained one of her dolls. This is the same child who refuses to wear a pull-up, let alone underwear. And actually sitting on the potty? No way in you-know-where. Perhaps I should ask Hannah for some tips, since she seems to gave a good strategy in place (and whatever I'm doing obviously isn't working). After all, the baby she potty trained isn't even walking yet!

The good news is that when she's ready, she totally understands what to do!
ReplyDeletePerhaps she's holding out for smarties, purple foaming soap, and stickers!
