As many of my close friends know, Brady has been quite the challenge to get to do #2 on the potty. I even went so far as to see a child psychologist this past week to see if there was anything that I could change or that I was doing wrong. We tried rewards, punishments, comparisons and (being the bad mother that I am) telling him that he was still a baby.
Well eureka! On Thursday, after holding the #2 for five days even with Miralax, I broke down and went to Walmart and bought some childrens suppositories. We went home, I put him on the potty and plopped the thing up there. No, he did not like it. After about 1 1/2 hours, he had a tiny accident. I ran him to the potty and sat him up there and it worked. He went another time. Nothing happend Friday - he was cleaned out, but on Satuday he went FOUR times by himself. I know that you must think that I am ridiculous for posting this, but this has been an extremely stressful time at our house and we are relieved to have made a step in the right direction.
Since he did such a good job with the potty, Mom took Brady to Walmart after church today and bought a prize. Here is a picture of it:
