Scenes From Potty Training

Bunny has decided she wants to be in charge of her brother’s potty training.

This involves getting Bubba to take all of his clothes and diaper off and having him sit on his potty.  Then she coaches him to go.  If you didn’t know better, you’d think she was coaching someone having a baby “push, push, push!”.  She even goes so far as to sit and stare into the potty for any sign of success.

And when he does go?  You’d think the girl won the lottery.  She jumps up and down, sings, and celebrates.

It doesn’t fool me, though.

I know why she’s so invested in all of this potty training nonsense.  It isn’t because she wants to help.  It isn’t because she’s being a good big sister and helping her little brother.  Nope.

Brother gets M&M’s every time he goes in the potty {yes, I’m not above bribery}.  Guess who else manages to get herself one?  Yup.

I have to give the girl credit.  She knows how to game the system and works it.

Me? I’m just glad someone else has taken over potty training around here.  Even if she’s four and in it for the chocolate.
