Carl Speaks

I came into the bedroom to get Carl up from his nap.  He was just waking up, so I crawled into bed to cuddle with him a little bit.  It was very comfortable and I was thinking I might like a nap myself when Carl started to stir in earnest.

ME:  Hey, Carl.  Did you have a good nap?

CARL:  Yes.  [gets out of bed]  Now I am going to go play.

ME:  OK.

CARL:  [holds up two fingers]  You have two choices: you can get out of bed and play with me or you can stay in the bed.

ME:  That's an easy choice.  I'll just stay here in the bed.

CARL:  OK!  Have a good nap!

Our Potty Training Journey

February 2010 GOAL:  My initial goal was to introduce Soren to the toilet and make it a fun place to sit.  I have to admit that I also hoped that we would have some fortunate "accidents" that would lead to potty training success. STRATEGY:  My plan was to sit Soren on the toilet once a day and read him a couple of stories.  If he peed, I was planning to give him a candy. THE BAD NEWS:  The candy totally backfired.  The one time that he peed on the toilet, I gave him a candy and he had a full-on tantrum begging for more.  If I ever told him "When you pee on the potty, you can have a candy", he would begin screaming for the treat and be unable to focus on the toilet training. THE GOOD NEWS:  Soren was not afraid of sitting on the big toilet.  He actually really enjoyed it (when I was reading stories and not pimping rewards) and started asking to sit there any time his butt was bare.

February 10 - 16

* I thoroughly enjoyed reading Skyward. * Soren beat Megaman 1 without dying. * Carl was swamped with art homework.  His teacher assigned him 5 mini-paintings, 30 gradients, and 1 shading. * Sven finished reading the Frog and Toad  treasury. * Leif talked a lot about wanting to make a friend. * Richard got to listen to lots and lots of read-a-louds.
