Nana & Paw Paw were troopers by taking the girls and their cousin down to Cedar Park for a week. On top of that they also took on the task of keeping up Gwynie’s potty training. She has been making progress before she left, but she wasn’t too interested in telling us when she had to go, we were still just trying to “catch” her in time.
Well, after the first day Nana had a great idea! She decided to give Gwynie a M&M every time Gwynie went to the potty. I had heard of this type of reward system before, but Nana came up with a great twist. She told Gwynie that whenever she would go to the potty she would get an M&M but she would also get to give one to Gracie and Nathan. She REALLY liked that idea! Plus suddenly you had two additional people VERY interested in Gwynie’s potty habits. Nana & Paw Paw said that they would occasionally hear Gracie and Nathan asking Gwynie if she needed to go. HA!
It was a hit and helped Gwynie make huge leaps forward in a matter of just a few days. We are keeping up the M&M’s. Gwynie feels so proud when she gets to hand out the M&M’s to the family!
My goal was to have Gwynie all potty trained by the time she went back to school. I don’t know if we will be 100% but we are WAY further along than we were just 7 days ago! {Thanks again Nana & Paw Paw}
WAY TO GO GWYNIE!!!!
