Yea for Cottonelle!

After a few clogged toilets, I decided it was time to do something else with Chloe. No matter how many times we reviewed toilet paper use, she still loved to unroll half a roll of TP and use it all. At one point we thought we were just going to have to go into the bathroom EVERY time with her. Then one evening I saw a commercial for Cottonelle Kids. It has pawprints on it and then a picture of a puppy to let you know where to stop unrolling. Brilliant! So the next day I went to Target and bought a pack. While it is a little more expensive ($3.50 for 4 rolls) it is much cheaper than the plumber!!! So far only good things to say about it! Chloe loves using it and she does stop at the dog. She walks her fingers along the pawprints and then yells, "Stop, dog!"

Finally, a Solution!

It took a little time for Chloe to get use to it, but we found a solution for her to clean her room. She got to the point where she just didn't care if you took all her toys away. She was not going to clean her room. We put her on toy restriction and she had to ask for permission before she could get any toys out. But now we have a sticker chart. It took lots of explanation and some time to get the hang of it, but now it seems to be working. She gets a sticker everytime she picks up her toys. I made a chart and just numbered the squares. Every time she gets to the end of a row, there is a prize square. Some of the squares have candy taped to them and some are reserved for new Barbies or Polly Pockets. She even gets to choose which row she puts her stickers on. I don't know how long the chart will last but at least she is cleaning her room!
