Andrew

Nadeen inspired me to go ahead and blog about this.
My andrew is 3.5, he'll be 4 in August. He will not go poo in the potty. I've bribed, threatened, pleaded, cleaned out, everything and he will not go in the potty. We are seeing an elimination specialist so he's taking miralax, ex-lax & mineral oil & doing a poop sit in the afternoon & getting check marks towards a goal. he also knows he'll get a lego ship & indy motorcycle when he (ever) goes poo on the potty but nope, nothing. He (and I, I guess) have gotten lazy and he's back to wearing pull ups only because his poo is pretty much liquid so now he's not even pee'ing in the potty. ugh.
So today i decided no video game unless he wears undies. Which he did and proceeded to pee "just barely" on the couch and the floor. fun for mommy! I threatened to take away the game if he ever did it again AND put him in baby diapers instead of pullups and he promised it won't happen.
But I am just so stinking tired of this! Why won't this child poo in the potty?!?!? He has to go to prek in the fall!
Ok, rant over, off to get more things done and check on the couch.

post-VBS summer!

Ok, I can now begin my Post-VBS summer! I mentally divide the summer into pre- and post-VBS as it is such a huge event in my life and it is now done!!! It was a pretty good success this year I think - I'm worn out, my kids are all clingy and everyone had a good time.
But now it is time to let myself think past it and holy cow is there a lot left in the summer! And some of it is coming up quick!!! We leave for TX for a wedding this Wed and I am totally not ready - eek! Then we get to go to Grand Lake for a family vacation in July and then it will be August. yikes! I need to treasure these days and enjoy them instead of race through them and lose them all.
I guess post-vbs summer really = family summer! I like that!
