Aint too proud to bribe
Yesterday, on a whim, I tried to bribe D to poop on the potty. I knew he had to poop, so I took off his diaper and said, “Look, if you poop on the potty, I’ll give you ice cream.”
“Mama. Poop on potty, get ice cream?”
“Yes, if you poop on the potty, I’ll give you ice cream. You want to go poop on the potty now?”
“All done poop on potty.”
“But you’ll get ice cream.”
“ALL DONE ICE CREAM.”
“Ok, all done ice cream.” So here, I left the room to check on the dinner. 30 seconds later, he ran out of the room saying, “Poop! Poop! Poop!” I knew before looking that he didn’t poop on the potty, but what I thought was hilarious was that he still expected the ice cream. After I cleaned everything up, I had a sweet toddler face in mine saying, “Mama. Ice cream?” So much for “never a miscommunication” lol.
