Crime and punishment
July 21st, 2011Last weekend after taking Bruno to see Winnie the Pooh (his first movie in the theatre!) we asked him if he needed to use the potty. He said no which was no surprise. I told him that if he peed in his car seat (AGAINOMFG!) I was taking mister potato head away for a week, “are you sure you don’t want to try?”
“I don’t WANNA go potty!” was his reply. So we got into the car and as we pulled up to our house less than 5 minutes later, he said, “I peed.”
So the next few days were filled with mini meltdowns but also he was learning! When he’d refuse to go potty, I’d remind him that his toy was taken away because he didn’t go potty when he had he chance and he’d instantly try and inevitably go.
And even at school, he has had fewer accidents this week which has earned him his toy back 2 days early.
When I gave his Mr. Potato Head back this morning he held his toy close, looks at me and said, “I love him, mom.”
Accident free for the love of Mr. Potato Head.
