Mommy’s Patience Rewarded

When the boys got up from their naps Sunday afternoon, Mommy was determined to potty train her boys. She allowed them to play any video they wanted if they would sit on their potty while they watched. Her theory was they needed to sit still and relax, and the only time they did that was while watching Thomas the Train videos. Her first success came when Benji peed several ounces just after he finished his milk. Davey watched as we cheered on Benji and presented him with a sticker. Davey was resistant to participate, but Mommy sat down next to him and patiently encouraged him to relax and enjoy the movie. He was so engrossed in Thomas’ adventures that he didn’t even notice he was filling his potty. He was surprised and delighted by his achievement and his first sticker.
