Daddy and I were at our wits end trying to convince Bubbie to go poopie in the potty. We had tried every little tidbit of advice we could get! I had even come to a point of giving up on potty training, until I had an epiphany! The Poo Poo Fairy has added some excitement around here and made potty training fun again. We had started out with giving Bubbie little things, like dum dum suckers, dove chocolate and hot wheels. We had tried these gifts before, but for whatever reason it just wasn't motivation enough. When you say the Poo Poo Fairy is going to bring the prize, its suddenly exciting and motivating! AMAZING!!
Tonight was kind of our last hoorah, so to speak. Bubbie has been going poopie on the potty every day since last Saturday night(yay!!) He earned his small prizes, which then led up to earning his big prizes. One was a tractor set that was actually a Christmas present, but because he had received so many gifts last year, we put some in storage. That worked well to our advantage with the Poo Poo Fairy! Then tonight, I bought him a book that Bubbie has been asking for, for some time now. When I arrived home with it, he was napping, so I wrapped it and set it by the TV. When he came out, I told him that the Poo Poo Fairy left him a gift because she was so pleased by the great job he has been doing. Then I told him that when he went poopie, he could open his gift. The poor kid tried for a couple of hours to poop! Finally when we were getting ready to put him to bed, he said he had to go potty and he finally pooped!! Here are pictures of the unveiling of what the Poo Poo Fairy left for him.......
He was so excited, that he actually took the book and music player to bed with him! I cannot believe how well the Poo Poo Fairy has worked. Lets just hope that the trend continues!
