So, after several months of being terrified of even going near the potty, Kason has finally come around! He is going to LOVE the story later though, I'm sure!
I knew he was ready to go because if I tell him to pee in the drain in the shower, he can go "on command" so he know how to make it happen, but he would never get anywhere close to the potty and just yelled "No peepee potty" anytime I asked him!
So, Monday night, in order to prepare for the blizzard that was coming, I scooted everything to one side of the garage so we could at least fit one car in before the storm! As we were doing that, we found Kinley's box of princess dolls from Christmas. We had only ever opened the Tiana one. So, we brought the package in and Kason DESPERATELY wanted me to open the dolls right then and GIVE HIM BELLE! So, since he wanted it so bad, I thought I would try the potty angle and it worked! I told him that if he would try to pee pee on the potty, I would open the dolls. He ran into the bathroom and took off his pants and diaper and was ready to go! He sat right down and peed and then asked for Belle and some candy! (which we had been promising for months!)
After this, I stuck some Toy Story underwear on him and we kept going to the potty! We were out of school this entire week because of the weather so we have been working on it all week! He has been dry now for 4 days and we are just trying to get him to poop in the potty now! (Sorry for anyone that is offended by "potty talk". I didn't realize how de-sensitized you get as you have children!) We gave him candy everytime he stayed dry but that wasn't quite working out because he would be up for hours trying to take his nap! One day, he was literally in there talking and carrying on for 2 hours, so I had to take him out of the room so Kinley could sleep and he finally fell asleep on the couch with Daddy! So, after that, we decided to give him popcorn as his treat and this has worked much better. We haven't given him any treats today for going pee, we are just trying to get him to do the other now and offering him all sorts of bribes for doing so! He is wearing training pants and they are a nasty mess when he goes in them, so everyone keep your fingers crossed for us! He is doing very well and we are very proud of him! Kinley is also very proud and she claps and tells me, "Bubba went pee pee in the potty like a BIG boy!" She keeps trying to coax him into pooping also, but that hasn't helped so far!
These are some photos of the first night :)
