Give That Boy a Medal

Our Sunday morning had been filled with nearly a dozen potty accidents by our two boys. The “cold turkey” potty training strategy we had adopted was beginning to look like a complete failure. It was just before lunch and we were all exhausted when Benji said he had to pee-pee.  This time before he wet his pants, he made it to the pot. After he finished emptying his bladder, he was surprised to find that he had also emptied his bowels. This achievement earned him the medal his mother had promised if he poo-pooed in the potty. The one he selected had a yellow ribbon and said “Super” on the medallion. Benji was very proud of his medal and refused to take it off all day.
