A friend just suggested offering Mary chocolate to use the potty. Not a bad idea, but in the past she's always rejected my offers of chocolate for performance. Perhaps I'm not offering a refined enough taste . . .
Since yesterday Mary has been asking me for "oranges." I kept telling her that I don't have any oranges in the house right now. This morning at breakfast, she was particularly persistent. Finally she explained, "No! The oranges Miss Rachel gave me!"
Miss Rachel is the kids' babysitter who yesterday brought over grapefruit as part of her own lunch and told me that she shared some with Mary (no sugar added!) and that Mary loved it. I guess that was no exaggeration since Mary has been begging for grapefruit since!
I'll have to add the bitter fruit to my grocery list.
no sugar added? people add sugar to grapefruit? new one to me!
ReplyDeletei love grapefruit too. dear, dear mary. :D
Sarah Faith: Yuck! You and Chris can have your grapefruit without sugar. I, for one, think it's too bitter even with sugar! Ha ha!
ReplyDeleteI should have suspected Mary would like grapefruit because she likes taking sips of Daddy's grapefruit juice. That just occurred to me.
