Score

Several weeks ago, I broke down and bought Mills his very own Cars potty chair.  I was not planning using a potty chair, but a snap on seat instead, but with Mills having little or no interest using the toilet, I had to resort to option 2.

Yes, the potty that makes race car noises.  He'll like it, I thought.  I took him with me to get it and he was so excited to sit on it when we got home....with his clothes on.  He has cared less about the thing with the exception of the gear shift "flusher" that makes noises.  Bad idea mom!  I have even bribed him with treats, M&M's and such, but after sitting there for two seconds, he gets bored and distracted and says he's through.

After watching the Lion King several times, he has become a fan of Simba.  He told me he wanted a Simba toy.  So, with that being said,  I told him that if he would tee-tee or poop in his potty he could have one.  Hmmm, all that did was make him beg for his Simba toy and get mad, because I would not get him one.  He would NOT go in the potty.  So, I gave up.

Just this week, no joke, I have had two mothers say that they ended up putting the potty chair in front of the television and making their children sit on it until they "went."  With all options behind us, I thought, why not?  At this point, I'll try anything.  So, I brought the potty chair into the living room, took Mills pants and diaper off, and he willingly sat on his potty for a few minutes, stood up and said, "I frew!"  My thought was, Yeah right sit back down until you go."  I was ready to put his diaper on and as I walked over to grab the potty chair and take it back to it's spot in our bathroom, I noticed that Mills did a tee-tee.   I mean a GOOD tee-tee!  I literally screamed with excitement and he started jumping up and down smiling.  "I go pee pee in potty, Mama!"  Now, he may not do it again, but here's hoping.

Our next stop: Wally World for Simba way past Mills' bedtime! I didn't even know if they had a Simba, so I kept my fingers crossed the whole way there.
