Potty Training

We're slowly getting Ryan used to the potty. He loves to tear up pieces of toilet paper and flush them (over and over again) as he says "Bye-bye paper towel!" He loves to get on his step stool and look in the mirror to admire himself as he washes his hands. He tells us "I went poo-poo!" very proudly. But it is nearly impossible to get him to sit still on his little potty for more than 5 seconds. He will sit on it, make a pretend noise, then jump up and say "All done!".

So tonight Jake told Ryan if he went pee-pee in the potty he could have a marshmallow. Ryan sat on the potty and bounced up, down and all around as he sang 'Baby Beluga', but no pee-pee. I went in the other room and i heard Jake say "Wait! I have an idea" I heard him turn on the sink and a minute later "YAY RYAN! You went pee-pee in the potty!" I went in to tell Ryan what a big boy he was when i realized how Jake got him to pee.....Ryan's feet were in a bucket of warm water!!! Isn't that an old-school sleepover prank?? Oh well, Ryan was extremely proud of himself and i even got him to say "Chubby bunny" when he stuffed the whole jumbo marshmallow in his mouth. :)
