Well, I bribed my child with cupcakes. Yes, I told MV on Tuesday that if she stayed dry and did not have any accidents for 3 full days then I would take her to get a cupcake. I did not really believe that she would actually remember from day to day or even hold me to it, but boy was I wrong!! Almost every time she went to the bathroom for those three days she would say that she was going to get a cupcake. At first she wanted a purple cupcake (which I did not know how I was going to pull that off), but thankfully by Thursday (the 2nd day) she changed it to an orange cupcake which was perfect with Halloween stuff around right now. So yes, she did it!! She went 3 full days (and continues today) to be accident free!! I took her to the bakery to pick out her cupcake on Friday after nap, and of course they did not have just one orange cupcake all by itself. The only ones that they had were the mini cupcake package with about 3 orange and 3 brown ones. So, we ended up with more cupcakes than I originally planned on, but she ate one orange and one brown and was VERY excited the entire time. She even sang the phrase "cupcake party" over and over the whole time we were in the store and while she was eating the cupcakes. Anyway, this week I told her if she goes 5 full days then we will get a real pumpkin for her to have at the house. I took the easy way out because we plan on getting one anyway. I just hope she does it or else we may not be able to get one this year. I have faith that she will! I am SO proud of her. Here are some pictures and a little video from the bakery and the actual "cupcake party" at home.
