I’ve recently come up with a new plan for Jax’s potty training.... outright bribery. I found a cache of cheap toy vehicles at one of the local toy shops, and now if Jax is dry when he pees in the potty he gets his choice of one of them.
Last night, he was SO excited to go potty and get ABOOBOOSEER. He exclaimed over and over..
ABOOBOOSZEER, ABOOBOOSEER
As you may imagine, I had no clue what this might be. But I went along with it, and after the requisite fluids were deposited, I allowed him to pick out his toy.
Of course, he immediately chose what he had been asking for all along - the bulldozer.
Never would I have imagined that my 2 year old would know the name of and be excited about a bulldozer. I can’t tell if I’m impressed with his skills of observation at picking up such a vocabulary word or if I’m more than a little deflated in my equal-opportunity parenting. I suspect the latter.
Oh well, if it results in his being potty trained, I suppose it’s all worth it. Right?
