Adventures in Potty Training

E & I decided it was time to start potty training full force. Surely, any kid that can learn to decode 3 & 4 letter words can certainly figure out how to use the potty. So, we did what we did with the first two kids; we bribed him with M&M's. We started this past Friday & it was working pretty good. Lo & behold, it took him less than 24 hours to figure out how to beat the system. Yesterday evening, he went to the potty & got an M&M. Then he turned around, went right back to the potty, and came asking for another M&M. E checked behind him & there was a small amount in the potty, so we gave him an M&M. He immediately made another trip to the potty, left behind a little bit more and came back to me, holding himself like kids do when they really gotta go, wanting another M&M. He was in some rush to get that M&M and run back to the bathroom. We about fell in the floor laughing when we realized what he was up to. His grandpa calls him "a tiger on wheels." Yep, that about describes him.
