Jane loves making cakes and cookies on the Easy Bake Oven app on my phone. We are struggling with getting poo-poo in the potty and every day I try to make a deal with her. I have tried candy, a basket of treats, stickers, etc. Yesterday I told Jane that if she would potty she could have ice cream and she said "No". I was confused-she loves ice cream. So I asked why she didn't want ice cream and she looked me in the eye and said, "Bakesy Oven", which is what she calls the Easy Bake Oven. I was floored! This little 3 year old girl is negotiating with me on treats for going potty! Once I stopped laughing I agreed to the terms. My thinking was that I had offered her so much before now and she didn't do it that she wouldn't get it today either. Well, I was wrong. She told me she needed to potty and she did!!! Can you believe this girl?!?!? I had to hold my word and take her to the store. I still can't believe it. She chose the pink on and before I put it in the cart, I made her understand and agree that if she didn't keep going to the potty that the oven would go up on a shelf until she consistently had success. She loved baking with her Aunt Bettye that afternoon.
January 7, 2013 Update: The next day, the EBO went on the top shelf in the hall and it has been there since. UGH. Bettye Jane even gave her more baking kits for Christmas, but they are on the shelf with the oven until Jane makes up her mind.
