I make a big deal when the girls use the toilet. It's the little victories that really make a difference in the girls' lives. I wouldn't want their little girl feelings to shrivel up and dry out. There are a few rewards for using the toilet. Sometimes they get stickers, other times they get chocolate milk, but the one reward that they both like more than stickers and chocolate milk is getting to wear big girl panties.
Papi, me peed in the potty.
Say it the right way, Abigail.
Papi, me peed in the potty.
That's great, sweetheart, but it's, "I peed in the potty."
(Looking up at me with proud eyes)
Oh, good job, Papi. Are you wearing big girl panties?
I didn't have the fight in me to explain the grammar to her so I just left it alone. I'm certain she believes in her heart that I wear big girl panties.
