Jelly snakes

Every time TLM manages to deposit something appropriate into her potty, she gets a jelly snake.

The thing about introducing TLM to rewards like jelly snakes, is that she likes 'em so much she'll demand them any old time of day, potty deposit or not. But you gotta stand firm with the rewards scheme, or it won't work. So you have to put up with frequent calls for "Snaaaaake!".

Her record so far, is two jelly snakes in one day. But perhaps she ought to get two jelly snakes if she saves up an almighty poo, and puts it in the potty in a timely manner. Because that's a pretty major feat, really. I just hope her teeth don't suffer too much from all the extra sugar.

Oh, and if I don't blog before the big day, Merry Christmas.

Well merry christmas to you too. Hope she gets plenty of jelly snakes and for now just remember that all her teeth are going to fall out anyway. Hopefully not before they should but eventually.

yeah that's true. But it would be embarrassing if they fell out ahead of time!

positive poo reinforcement works in the form of jelly snakes :) the idea makes me giggle...

no milk - I only just "got" that comment. And only because I was thinking about an anecdote that Ben Elton was telling, last time I saw him live.
