Dear Bently,

Things sure have changed quickly in our house! Yesterday March 3, 2014 you told Dad that you wanted to go on the potty. He sat you on it but nothing happened. Not even 5 minutes later you told me to put you on the potty. So I did. A little irritated at the way this game is going. When you told me you went potty, I honestly didn't believe you one bit. But to my utter amazement and surprise, you had! You had pooped on the potty! Something you had never done before! I cheered and Dad came in because he had to see it for himself, then he cheered! I was shocked. I told your Dad maybe we wouldn't have change any more poopy diapers. I really didn't believe that anything would come of it. I mean you hated going on the potty. I thought it was some strange fluke. This morning though you wanted underwear. And you wore them pretty much all day long! You went pee on the potty every time. You did go a tiny bit in your undies once but not enough to make a mess even! I am in utter shock right now! You are so grown up. It's just like when you started walking. You went from not wanting to do it, to being pretty much a pro at it! ;) You even tell me when you have to go when I forget to remind you!

To be honest though today has been a hard day. The bribe was you go on the potty and you could play with my phone/nook. I didn't think you would ever go on the potty so when I made that deal, I didn't think I would have to follow through. So all day today you have wanted my phone/nook. That means every 2-10 minutes you are telling me you have to go pee. Even when you just went. Then you push until you get a drop of pee out and then think you get a reward. I don't really know how to fix this problem. All I know is I cannot keep putting you on the potty that often in one day! It's a lot of work. I am so exhausted! ;) You and Livvy kept me on my toes all day long!

I'm proud of you son! You are the cutest little man! You always get so excited when you go on the potty! :) And I am pretty excited too! Maybe we won't have to be diapers for you ever again! I love you so much my heart feels like it's going to burst! :)

Love,
Mom

  1. Yay Bently!!! I had that same problem with Dallin wanting to go all of the time. Finally, I had to set a timer and make him wait until the timer went off to go pee again. If they just went they shouldn't have to go again so soon! Right?
