No, really. Today, upon being told by Gran Marie, I clapped my hands, grinned with joy, gave Tesla a big hug and kiss (I was visiting home during lunch from work) and called Dav at work immediately with the amazing good news that Tesla pooped in the potty! Ok, maybe this isn't that interesting for everyone, but for us, this is big news! And she even washed her hands while singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, just as the Potty Power dvd teaches her.
She's peed several times in the potty, but poo is a much bigger deal. Interestingly, so far she has actually used the potty only when with Gran Marie or Karla. She sits when with us but no action. I suspect this is some control issue.
I unabashedly went for bribing...she gets one organic gummy bear if she sits on the potty for a while (while reading or drawing or whatever), and I have a string of cute chocolate bite-size squares dangling in the kitchen that we told she could have one if she used the potty. She's been fondling that string of chocolate...and voila, today she got to have one from Gran Marie.
