Gracie is Potty Trained!

I'm not a big believer in bribery as a parenting tool, with one major exception.  Potty training.  I will pretty much buy my kids a car if it will make them potty train quickly and without a huge hassle.  Its worked so far.  Although the bribes are getting smaller and smaller.  I think we have less and less money with each kid, so even little things are a huge deal for them.  The bribe of choice for Gracie was yellow suckers.  I think I bought about 8 of them out of the bulk section at WinCo for a grand total of 40 cents.  The deal was she had to stay dry for a week, and she could have a yellow sucker.  I can't believe that worked, but it did.  She potty trained in about 2 days, and a week later, she was dry at night, too. And I'm pretty sure there are still 5 suckers left in the pantry somewhere.
