1. Her behavior has been NUTS the last two weeks. It's totally like she is going through baby PMS.
2. Is number 2. That is, she will NOT poop on the potty.
With our upcoming trip I've devised a way to get her to atleast try to cooperate and try to poop on the potty. DISNEY DOLLARS!
We went to the Disney Store last night and they have these dollars that you can buy and it's literally a dollar for a dollar. These are valid at the parks, resorts and the Disney Store. They come in increments of $1, $5 and $10 and are adorable.
She also got a new Vera Bradley wallet to store her money in! She even picked it out herself!
** And no, my head is not getting big thinking that she will do this forever. After this bribe, I'll have to think of another thing. Ofcourse I prefer to call this all incentive! ;-)
We broke down and told her we were going to Disney World and she was so excited. She spent the next 30 minutes thinking of everyone she could possibly see while at 'The World.' Princesses, Pooh, JoJo, Little Einsteins...the list goes on and on.
Now she has a chore chart, an understanding of expectations and she's ready to start earning money!
This morning we got up, she did her things (get herself dressed quickly, brush teeth, make her bed, put her clothes in the laundry basket and turned her nightlight and lights off. We quickly went to the chart, checked off the items for the day and came downstairs. She found an extra pair of shoes downstairs and said, "Oh no! I need to put my shoes up!" and quickly ran up stairs! :-) She did all of these things when she was 2 but once she turned 3 she decided that her "duties" were mine. :-( Anyway, I think she's getting it!

I think that what you are doing is a great idea! I've tried stuff like that with our two older girls, but since they are only here every other week I cut that out quickly because it didn't work for us. So now they have chores, and if they want to do something fun with their friends or what not they know that if their chores are not done they better not even ask! :) I hope you guys have a great time at disney! We are planning to go to Florida to visit some relatives for the girls spring break, so maybe we can hop over to the park! :)
Katie Haupoot!! LOL
and don't think of it as a bribe...really. most adults need incentive to be responsible. ie wages for working...i have no problem bribing my kids...hee hee.
