Cubby is very excited about his potty, his new underwear, and the prospect of getting M&Ms. I hope he stays excited and does not get frustrated.
Cubby sat on the potty, while Buckaroo "read" him a book. While making breakfast, I heard excitement and to my surprise Cubby had gone pee! Buckaroo and I danced and high fived Cubby. Cubby jumped up and down, then demanded his reward. I gave him a handful of mini M&Ms. He quickly gave them back and told me "NO! I want big M&Ms." With that I told him that was all there was. As you can guess, he accepted the minis.
After breakfast I had to get Buckaroo off to preschool. Outlaw maintained the peace while I dropped Buckaroo off at preschool.
Once I got back it was time to sit on the potty again. Cubby ran to his potty to try to go. I wanted to keep the excitement going, so I remembered how much Buckaroo loved the "Wee Minder Gang". I found the DVD and put it on for Cubby. Cubby was bouncing on his potty, enjoying the songs and story. After 45 minutes or so, he finally went pee. I rewarded him with a few less M&Ms than the first time, he didn't seem to notice. He was very proud of himself and started clapping. Rose joined in.
Our plan was for him to be naked from the waist down, his plan was to wear his big boy underwear. Of course he won that one. He doesn't like being naked. How is it I didn't know this before now?
Playtime! Rose, Cubby and I played for awhile. I made the mistake of asking Cubby if he had to use the potty. He said "No". I tried to encourage him to sit on it. I didn't want to have to force him to sit. I bribed him with chocolate milk. He wouldn't sit on the potty until the chocolate milk was in his hands. As I was in the kitchen making it he stood next to me. Suddenly he starts whining and crying. I looked down to see a puddle beneath him. He found out he does NOT like to have accidents. Off to the potty.
Cubby sat on the potty for awhile. He pooped without even realizing it! We all did a little victory dance, complete with high fives and M&Ms. Nap time!
I needed a break, he needed a nap. Outlaw and I decided it would be best for him to be in Pull Ups during nap time and at night. I put on the Pull Up. Cubby seemed okay with that. He slept for 3 hours.
Once Cubby woke up he sat on the potty while I made lunch. During lunch he had a little accident. Off to the potty I took him. After a few minuets he peed on the potty. I took him to the place where he left a puddle and gave him a few paper towels. He cleaned up his accident, than ran upstairs to wash his hands. I talked to him about the "urge" and told him he needed to run to the potty or tell me, that way there were no more accidents for him to clean up.
Cubby sat on the potty lots today, he didn't always go. Every accident he cleaned up. We ended the night with the "Wee Minder Gang". After he was asleep it was a relief.
Time to relax!
