We were telling our little man that he had to go potty all the time by his birthday to get his birthday present.\u00a0 The present that has been sitting out in plain view for at least a month.\u00a0 Temptation and\u00a0 motivation…we will do whatever it takes for we are\u00a0The Parents.\u00a0 Now when he goes potty, he happily exclaims, “My birthday’s coming!”<\/p>\n
His much adored present?\u00a0 It is a Hummer pulling a trailer with 2 blue bikes and then as an added bonus, it has 2 little Hummers thrown in for extra excitement.\u00a0 Kailan really\u00a0likes bikes…and trucks…and trucks with trailers that he can put stuff on…and the color blue.\u00a0 All in all, it is quite the toy nirvana sitting there, just waiting for his little hands to caress and adore.\u00a0 The adulation of the toy is quite apparent in his gusto to be potty trained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We are quite proud of how we have managed to beguile our son into paying attention to his bodily functions.\u00a0 Knowing how to tempt your child into submission is an important skill in parenthood.\u00a0 Remember that, people.<\/p>\n
Kailan is pretty much day trained to the potty.\u00a0 He even knows when it is time and will toddle off and ask, “You coming?” because you always need an observer to sing you praises on the potty.\u00a0 You also need that observer to clean up afterwards or else they may hear the big potty flush and realize you tried to dump the potty all by yourself.\u00a0 Dread washes over them as they quickly go to the bathroom and are presented visible wet spots on the floor.\u00a0 Not fun.<\/p>\n
Kailan has even mastered the all important #2.\u00a0 I have heard some horror stories of kids doing #1 on the potty but going and putting on a diaper so they can do #2.\u00a0 Not that I enjoy cleaning his little throne after doing #2, but you think they would rather not sit in that, wouldn’t you??\u00a0 Ah, how lucky are we that he has figured that out!\u00a0<\/p>\n
