Rachel's decision making

We learned very early on that Rachel likes to be in charge of herself, and she would not be doing something she didn't want to.

This is how I perceive Rachel's thinking about potty-training.

Hmmm... I know my Mom and Dad want me to be potty trained, BUT I think I can get a lot more out of them if I hold out. A piece of candy each time I go is nice, but I want more!



Ok, ok, now I have a strawberry shortcake doll on the line, but let me think of how I can get more...Tinkerbell underwear or a diamond necklace.. I think my parents are desperate!



opps! Waited too long, now my dad puts me in a shower to clean up if I don't go potty... I will take my Strawberry Shortcake!!

I'm a big girl!!!!

Good job Rachel! And good job Jenae--potty training stinks! Literally!

I laughed till I nearly fell out of my chair! Rachel is so cute! I still think the easiest way to potty train is the way Rachael's mom did it. I kept putting off training Jenae and then one day she took off the diaper, put on the panties and trained herself.

Rachel is one feisty girl! Patience, grasshopper. patience. (I don't know what that is from, you'll have to ask Alyssa). Jenae, I'm right there with you- I feel your pain :)

Word is that the Strawberry Shortcake doll bribe was successful!!! Congratulations Rachel and her proud parents! (Must be time for another baby?)
