Bribery

So, the potty training didn't work out so well. He was almost there.... But, on day 4, Matthew held it in for 7 hours and I had to take him to the doctor because he had such severe stomach cramps and couldn't stand up. He was crying hysterically for hours. After chasing him around the doctor's office for a 1/2 hour, he finally peed in the cup and we avoided having to put a tube up an undesirable location. There was no UTI or kidney infection, but the doc said to hold off on potty training for a few months. I hate failing, but, take a look at these pictures and, well, let's just say paybacks will make me feel better.... some day. The thought of doing this all over again isn't really that exciting. The BYU potty never showed up, but maybe some day if it does, Steve will want to potty train the (stubborn) boy.

I call this picture "Little Steve", except for the hand placement, of course. I think Steve grew out of that. The boxes behind are Quilted Bear stuffs (another post).
