#1 but not #2

Grant has successfully gone since Monday using the potty for all his peeing needs (except for the one time when he was in trouble and I sent him to his room so he peed on his bed. But, we're not going to count that time). Pooping is a whole different story. He says he needs to poop, sits on his little potty, moves to the big potty, back and forth then says he's done. 10 minute later I won't be able to find him and sure enough, he's been hiding to poop in his pants.


Top 5 Excuses Grant gave me today for not pooping in the potty:

1. I already pooped, see? (No, Grant. That's pee.) Nope. That's poop and I did it in the potty.

2. I'm just going to be little.

3. My bottom is too heavy to sit on the potty.

4. I like my pull-ups.

5. I don't like the potty. It's mean.

He's a stubborn little sucker. I am resorting to the bribery factor. He responds well to food... so, if he poops in the toilet he gets a gummy worm. After I went to the bathroom earlier he asked, "Do you get to eat a worm?"

Jed actually got ice cream the first couple of times he pooped in the potty. That was the only thing that enticed him to even try pooping in the potty.

Okay I am laughing so hard...just got "caught" up on the McGooden madness and boy am I glad I did. I miss you guys. I got to Mexico last week of March but after life returns to normal (whatever that is) let's get the kids together and they can blow off some steam and we can laugh. Hope you are well! And Ben told me the other day he didn't have time to go poop!
