So today I officially started potty training my 2 1/2 year old son. Here he is in his Thomas the Train Big Boy Underwear with a ring of chocolate around his mouth. The day started off pretty good and then I made a big mistake. I told him that if he would tell me when he needed to go and then actually go potty, I would give him a Hershey's Kiss. Well once he got the first one it was on. Every 5 minutes he was like I need to go potty. So we would go to the bathroom and he would go a little and then clap and cheer and say, "My candy?" So I would go and get him a piece of candy. After about 5 or 6 times I was like that is it no more candy. Well by this time the candy had kicked in and he was literally running circles in the living room. He ran and ran and ran. Finally he was so exhausted he went and laid on the couch. After about 20 minutes I hear him calling for me -- he had wet the floor. Honestly after going about 6 times in row I did not really think he had any left in him. I was wrong. Oh well, we will start all over again tomorrow.
