Rowan's New Bike

As many of you know potty training the girl child hasn't been easy. With her sensory issues she is getting over from her hearing problems it has been a fight for control over using the potty. I have pretty well decided that we needed to back off a little because we will never win a battle of the wills with Rowan. (OH the teenage years should be a ball!) Now we tried everything to encourage her. We went as far as to offer a dog if she would go on the potty. NO GO! However Kelton finally found something she really wanted, a two wheeler!! Yup it has been fun since the weather turned nice the kids have been riding their bikes, but Rowan was a little big for her tricycle spinning the front tire and she is too small for Victor's even though she tried. So we took her a week or two ago to size her and look around. Well she found this Princess bike at Wally World and fell in love. Dad told her if she could keep dry and do a number 2 on the potty for a whole day she could have it. Well after a lot of near misses SHE DID IT!!! Although when I asked her last night if she was ready for big girl underwear or still needed her pull up she said "still need pull ups." But she is doing good still today and we took her to get the bike. She was so funny at the store she didn't want to let go or get off so we could buy it and she sure didn't want to do the other errands. The cutest was trying to quickly eat lunch when we got home, she gave her dad the raspberry over having to wait even one more minute. I suppose the trick now will be trying to get her off of it.
