A Funny Little Story
Yesterday I was trying to get Rebecca to take her dirty diaper to the garbage as I always do to demonstrate how much better it would be if she used the toilet. And as always she makes a big fuss over how yucky the diaper is and grudgingly after much motivation takes the diaper to the garbage. But this time I had an idea to make the process a little less painful, instead I told Rebecca to show Emily how to throw away her diaper, and to my surprise Emily actually picked up her own dirty diaper and they both threw their own diapers in the garbage. Well Emily loved the praise that she got from her obedience and continued to do very well in disposing her diaper, while Rebecca still needed encouragement to get past the yucky idea of holding her own waste. So today I once again faced the challenge only this time Rebecca had a better idea and picked up the diaper and gave it to Emily and pointed to the garbage in the kinchen and said "tash Enly". So Rebecca is doing quite will with the idea of having a younger sibling to do her dirty work for her. So sadly my little plan in potty training Rebecca backfired. :)
