Riley has nearly mastered potty training! We're still having issues with #2, but he's doing really, really well with it! What's our secret? Reverse bribery.
Before we kept telling him that if he went in the toilet, he'd get a new train. Since he already has so many he could have cared less! So we started taking away trains if he went in his pull-up (2 trains for #1, 1 train for #2) Worked like a charm! He can earn them back and hasn't had a train taken in two days! He has become strangely obsessed with his testicles (in our house, we refer to them as the politically correct term, "your junk"). I know it's just him exploring, but I'm finding things coming out of my mouth that I never imagined I would say, like:
"Riley leave your junk alone."
(and my personal favorite) "Don't wipe your junk on the shower curtain."
(and my personal favorite) "Don't wipe your junk on the shower curtain."
Seriously.
The interest is starting to fade - his junk is losing it's allure. For now.
HA! This has made my day! I swear there are things I say as a mom that I NEVER thought I'd be saying. Like "please don't drink the water off of the shower floor".
ReplyDeleteI cannot stop laughing!!!!!!!! LOL I bet you never thought you would have said something about putting your junk on the shower curtain! HA!
ReplyDeleteYou never know....Brenna and Mia may get to share a birthday!!! :)
And wait a few years, until 1st grade, when he draws a lovely pic of his junk (a/k/a "your business" in our house) on his sister's folders, as Liam did recently. My question: "What were you thinking?" Response: "I was being artistic." The insides of my cheeks are raw from trying not to laugh!
