Mom: Rosie, if you go pee on the potty I'll give you a marshmallow each time. (Yes, it is bribery- any questions?)
Rosie: Yes, and a Peep.
Mom: Yes, you get a Peep until they run out but only 1 a day.
Rosie: (with a very stern look) And a computer.
Mom: Yes, once you start going on the potty every single time you get your own computer.
Rosie: I want games on my computer. I want the Larry game. [Veggie Tales Larry]
Mom: Uh-huh you'll have games.
Rosie: I'll need lots of games.
Mom: Uh-huh, you'll have your own games.
Rosie: ... and I'll need a chair.
"Rosie" doesn't miss much. LOL! She has a plan and she's going to get what she wants. Now, had I "trained" her much earlier I wouldn't have to resort to this type of bribery. But I was busy being pregnant back then. So a computer it is. (My husband builds computers as a hobby so it's not a great financial hardship to throw one together for the kids. We may have to do some shopping for that chair though. )
