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).

Rise and Shout the Potty is Out!

My hubby runs a BYU sports message board called CougarBoard and is a die hard Cougar fan. Since there are a kazillion bazillion people on there, advertising people want to advertise on there. Recently, a new advertiser has surfaced. We got a good laugh when the Varsity Baby people contated us about advertising the BYU Potty that plays music when a "success" has happened in the little potty.

We told them we would accept them as an advertiser, but that we would also do a product review since we (ok, there's not much we involved, mostly I) will be potty training in the next couple weeks. They accepted, and I am actually so excited to get the potty, I can't stand it! What kid wouldn't love to pee to the Cougar Fight song anyway? Ok, so maybe he won't care about that, but I think it's cool.
