The Big Bribe!



I was watching these special Little Mommy Babies at Walmart since Christmas. They started out at $55 each, far more than I am willing to spend on Babies. But, about 3 weeks ago (after the girls' birthday) they were $15.50 and I decided to buy them. They make over 80 baby sound, and respond to the name you give them along with lots of other stuff. I decided I would use them for bribery with the girls. Emma potty trained right before she was 2, but Elle showed no interest, until she saw the babies in the back of the car! I told her that her and sissy could get new babies once she was potty trained. It took another week and another baby sighting in the back of the car before she decided they were worth it. We started last Friday, and it was a bit rocky at first, but by Sunday, it was more my fault than hers when she had an accident because by the evening, I was not taking her to the bathroom enough. Now she is coming and telling us that she needs to go. They Found the babies again on Wednesday and we opened them up. Emma named hers Claire, but the baby did not understand it, so we went with Emme Claire. Elle named hers Ariel. They are very demanding babies..but their mommies love them.
