This morning, [livejournal.com profile] daisy_knotwise put Katie on the toilet when she woke up. Nothing happened, so after a bit, Gretchen got her down and put her pull up on. About fifteen minutes later, Katie announced that she had peed a bit in her pull up, so Gretchen put her back on the toilet and we were rewarded with a bowel movement that actually hit water. :)

As a reward, Katie got the "Dora Saves the Crystal Kingdom" Wii game that I'd bought several weeks ago for an occasion such as this. Unfortunately, it turns out that an hour of helping Katie play the game will make me motion sick.

*sigh*

The pediatrician (and countless websites) gave us this advice:

Create a want.

For us it was Tigger and Pooh and the Musical Too. We bought it for him. We watched it together. And then it went in an easily visible place and he was allowed to watch it iff he went poopy on the potty.

Surprisingly effective.

Sadly, it took us so long to potty train the kid, that we had to go through several of these bribes as the newness wore off, but it did work for us.
