Will Work For Donuts

I realize there's an obesity epidemic going on, but there is also a ridiculous cost for diapering a child.  So, when you actually find something that motivates your child to potty train then you go for it.  Rebecca does not eat much junk food, nor does she sit idle throughout the day.  So, when we realized that chocolate chips were not inspiring her to "make yellow" in the potty.  I upped the ante to miniature donuts.  This seems to have done the trick.  She gladly makes yellow and even frogs for only portion of the sweet treats.  Now that we have gotten comfortable with making yellow, I have reduced her donuts to encourage her to to make frogs.  So, in order to get a whole donut... she has to make a frog!  This seems to be working because yesterday we used the same pull-up all day, and today we are using big girl pants.  She is such a big girl, and growing up so fast!

She got a donut and a half for this, but now she only
get a quarter of a donut.  
This was her victory donut for her first frog.  Now
she gets one white donut for a frog, but this is
Becca-World.
