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.
