So Elijah was sick on Monday and Tuesday. I felt really bad for him when he had a temp of 101.6 Monday night. By the end of the night we were ready for bed, all of us. Well just before bed he said he had to go potty. OK, not a problem. He went and sat down, and all of sudden I heard grunting. I ran in and he was smiling looked up at me and said hoo hoo. We have been trying for the last six months to get him to poop in the toilet and bribing him with a train any time he poops in the toilet. So far it hasn't motivated him at all, until Monday night. Never thought that him being sick would get him moving.
So he has had one accident since Monday night. Never thought I would ever find my self jumping up and down in a bathroom singing "you went potty, you went potty" while clapping.
I was thinking back in High school of some of the stupid things I did that I thought were funny. Who really thought that there married, kid raise life could be even more funny at times.

Hooray for Elijah! I know how hard it is to get determined children to use the facilities for real and not just as a game. Keep up the good fight.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Rachel is just starting to potty train again. It was hard while we were moving around. Now that we will be stable for a while she has been doing well.
