Potty Rewards

Potty training with Joe has had it's ups and down.  Teaching him to pee on the potty was a

breeze.  But for some reason he has no interest in pooping on the potty.  I'm not sure if he's

scared, if it hurts, or what other thing might be the culprit, but something is preventing him

from wanting to go on the potty. 

I decided to try out a new incentive plan.  I have a chart hanging on the door with 5 spaces.

Each time he poops on the potty he gets to put a sticker on the chart.  Once he fills up all 5

spaces he gets to pick a special thing for us to do.  Today he got his 5th sticker so it was

time for his first outing....Chuck E. Cheese!!

The boys decided to try out the roller coaster simulator first.

They were terrified!  I couldn't see the screen, but I know it was scary enough that

Joe decided to jump ship mid ride.  He preferred the calmer games.

And Owen had his fair share of fun too.  I bet he didn't think he would ever be so happy

for his brother going poop on the potty.  It's a great deal for him because he gets

to cash in on the reward too.

 

 The favorite game of the day was Jurassic Park.  You basically shoot dinosaurs that are

running towards you.  I would be lying if I said it was the most preschool appropriate game,

but they had a good time with it and that's what extra special rewards are about.

 Thank you for the fun day Joe.  Next up on his list of fun things to do...
