When Emily Elisabeth is in our house, we have the same rules for her, that we have for Mara! (I thought this went without saying, but apparently not!)
After Mara goes #1 in the potty, she gets one butter toffee peanut. (She calls them “spicy peanuts.”) We have a rule that only Mommy gets out the peanuts.
Well, this morning Mara was pretending to be Emily Elisabeth from Clifford the Big Red Dog. So after Mara went potty, she announced, “Lill-a-bus-a-lill-a-bus [is] big! Lill-a-bus-a-lill-a-bus gets spicy peanuts all by herself!”
We nipped that one in bud right away! I could see Lill-a-bus getting away with all sorts of things!
Hey Girlie Girl!
I have some fun news for you–could you email me at octamom@octamom.com?
Thanks!
Blessings!
