Potty training MAGIC!


I figured it out!! FINALLY! The trick is out and I'm going to share it with you all! Last night Maddux would NOT go poop in the potty. He's just to busy to sit for more than 5 seconds and actually get the "job" done.
So, I bribed him with a popsicle IN THE BATHTUB!! Woot Woot! It worked-at least for today!

You can all sit back and talk about what an awful mother I am. "She is giving her child a sugar-filled popsicle (GASP!) AND he's eating it naked (double GASP!) IN THE BATHTUB! (cue fainting)

But, as long as I don't have to scrub poop from his underwear, I'm totally OK with bath-time popsicle eating! Good luck to all of you potty-training moms and dads out there.

if you think about it, popsicles in the bathtub really make sense. If they eat them anywhere else you have to change their shirt and wip off their hands and mouth, this way you just wash their whole body when the popsicle is gone :)

There was no gasping from me...I think it's a great idea. You gotta do what you gotta do when it comes to cleaning up poop. And of course, moms know best!
