M&MS in the couch cushion

We were in the thick of potty training our second when baby boy was born.

Nursing round the clock (and I did clock it on an app with him, it was 37 hours a week of nursing!) and trying to wipe a tushie and rush a 3 yr old to the potty all the time was incredibly frustrating.

What did I do?

I poured a bag of m&ms into a gladware container and shoved it into the couch cushion behind where I nursed the baby.

I offered my 3 yr old: one for making it to the potty, one for peeing on the potty, one for wiping, one for washing her hands, one for drying.  Mom award? Maybe not, but holy moly did it make my life easier those first couple of weeks!
