Kudzu Korner

I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength. Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles. ~Phil 4:10-14

Potty Training update

Posted in Kudzu Kids
Sean will be 4 on December 1st. I think he's probably pretty normal for a 4 year old. He just doesn't seem so grown up to me as the other two did at that age. Anyway, we're finally having success potty training. All week, he's been in underwear except at nap and bedtime. There have been a few accidents, but he's getting there.

With the other kids, we did M&Ms with a lot of success. Sean, not so much. We finally found the secret. Dog biscuits. I know. You're all going

and

...but it's not REAL dog biscuits. They're Scooby Doo graham crackers in the shape of dog biscuits.

My mom used to have a little Yorkie that got a treat every time she went outside to do her business. Sean apparently remembers. So, our current routine is, he goes potty and comes running out and stands at the kitchen and waits. Someone (usually one of the kids because I'm laughing too hard) says "SIT!" and he plops to the floor. Then they chime "SPEAK!" and he barks. Then he receives his treat for going potty.

I know. I know. It's horrible. I've tried to get him to stop. He's devastated if we don't do it. And..it's getting him to go potty...so I don't really want to NOT do it. It won't last forever. He'll be potty trained and forget all about it like the others forgot about the M&Ms.

But I just know...at some point...

We're going to be in public...

And he's going to try and insist on "sitting & speaking" for his treat when he goes potty.

OMG!!!!!! I am about to fall off my chair laughing over here. I am just thinking, wait until he gets older and you are able to tell him this story of his potty training days! LOL

I had a friend, who while potty training her daughter used to sing, "it's my potty and I'll pee if I want to!!" LOL And another friend who put cherrios in the potty for her little boy to try to dunk while aiming into the potty! LOL But this one dear, definately takes the cake, dog biscuits and all!! (Do you actually call them scooby snacks??? Pee for mommy and you can have a scooby snack!! RUFF RUFF! LOL)

Thanks for sharing the laugh with us. How adorbaly sweet!

God's Blessings,
Amy Jo
