All for a Lollipop

May 26, 2012

I told Sawyer that if he went poop on the potty he could get a lollipop.
 Well today he wanted that lollipop. And he got it!

He chose brown. Hmmmm.

P.S. This huge milestone was a little traumatic for all of us.
Why? Some dogs eat first time poops right out of the little potty.
And some Mom's FREAK OUT when that happens,
screaming, gagging and yes, freaking out their children
who just pooped in the potty for the first time.

P.P.S. Some children are kind by nature
and when the dog that they love is in time out
in her crate for eating the first time poop
they share their lollipop with the disgusting creature
and then proceed to place the lollipop back into their mouth.
This might cause some Mom's to FREAK OUT yet again,
snatch the lollipop out of the child's mouth,
 throw it in the garbage while gagging again
and send the child to time out.

Not my best parenting moment.

I did apologize and get him another lollipop.
I may be changing poopy diapers for a little while longer.

Big Marshmallow!

May 25, 2012

Sawyer kept his underwear dry all day today!

He got a "BIG" marshmallow as his reward!

It made him a little looney! 

We are SO proud of you Sawyer!!!
Keep up the great work!

Keeping Percy Dry!

Sawyer decided that he wanted to wear his Thomas the Train underwear.
I explained to him that this meant that he would have to go on the potty.
So today we gave it a try. He tried to keep Percy dry.


He was so excited to be wearing big boy underwear!
He even kept telling Baby Reuben he was going to go pee pee on the potty.
(Speaking of pee, please note how full Reuben's wet diaper is!)


And guess what?!


He did it! My baby went pee pee on the potty!
(I may or may not have teared up a tiny bit at how big he is.)


And he got a big KISS from Momma!
And a Hershey's Kiss too! :)


He was sure pleased with himself!

He's had some accidents since the initial pee pee in the potty,
but I'm so proud of him and we'll get there!
