The bribe

So I know that NO ONE wants to hear all of the graphic details about how my child can use the potty, but we had a milestone yesterday. G left for school in his big boy underwear for the first time yesterday. I packed a backpack for him with lots of extra clothes. When I picked him up, he was wearing the same clothes. No accidents!! Hurray!!

To celebrate, I took him to McD's and played on the playground. We had a really good time.

Let's cross our fingers that today will be as successful.

I do have to admit that there is a bribe involved. We promised months ago after he rode a neighbor's 12" bike with training wheels, that we would get him a John Deere tractor bicycle when he became potty-trained. Plus, it will be good exercise for him instead of being on his riding tractor every night. We've talked it up so much, I was afraid the bribe was going to lose it's power. I even printed out pictures of it and taped them all over the house. He told me yesterday that he was getting closer to getting one. I said we'd go one week and see how he does. I guess I need to get ready to order it! (and knee pads and elbow pads...) :)
