Baby Play: Catch Me If You Can!

Sven and I have a ritual/game we always do for diaper changes.  This is how it goes:

* I take him to the boys' room to change him on Carl's bed.  I swing him back and forth, chanting "1-2-3!" and on the 3, I throw him gently onto the bed.
* Sven laughs, rolls onto his stomach, and crawls quickly to the other side of the bed (which is underneath Soren's loft).
* I clamber up onto the bed and crawl after him, pounding my palms on the mattress behind him.  He usually looks back and laughs.  It's like I am chasing him but I go very very slowly and make sure to stay just behind him.
* When he gets to the end of the bed, I grab him and pull him back.  I tickle him and he laughs.
* I lay him on his back and get out the diaper for a change.  He often rolls over again, wanting to start the game all over.

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.

* 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.
