February 17th, 2010 Posted in The Art of Parenting

“Four M&M’s if I poop,” Isaiah explained. This is how we finally got him potty-trained, you see. With bribery. He was getting M&M’s for peeing as well, but then he started doling it out in little dribs and drabs in order to optimize his candy intake.

And people think economics is hard to understand.

    I used Smuckers jelly beans (supposedly made with real fruit).

    Works like a charm!

    Congrats on your little victories.
