Thursday night after we arrived home from our day at work (and daycare), Brandon asked me to read him our new book, "Everybody Poops". This book was recommended by our pediatrician who thinks it is just a matter of time until Brandon decides to do #2 on the potty. So yes, we are still trying to convince him to poop on the potty, any potty, but he is just so resistant! And yes, to all those asking, the more we insist, the more he digs his heels in, refuses, and demands his pull-up. But anyway, back to my story.
"Momma, read it again!" So there we sat on the floor in Brandon's room and re-read our book five more times, all the while, I had Brandon on one side and Mason snuggled in on the other. After a few minutes, Brandon turned to me and said, "Momma, are you thinking what I'm thinkin' about?" I'll be honest, for a brief moment, I actually thought we had made a breakthrough in the potty department but instead...
"I don't know, what are you thinking about Brandon?"
"I'm thinkin' about a Dream Light pillow!"
Now, I was a little taken back and surprised that he recalled a commercial from several days ago, but it has stuck with him and he talks about the Dream Pillow often! I might give in and get him one....as a bride to poop on the potty!!!!
Mason on the other hand has taken quite an interest in the potty, all of them. He even tries to imitate Brandon while he uses the potty, it's too cute! I just can't imagine going to Target and not buying any diapers! Think of all the money that will be saved. I hope having an older brother will help expidite the potty process for him...
Mason's vocabulary has really expanded the past 2-3 weeks. He repeats everything, has a good 10-20 words that you can really hear clearly. His most used words are, shoes on, outside, deer, up, baby, milk, bird, doggy, mama, dada, tractor, truck....and the list goes on. It almost seems as if he has become tired of listening to our conversations and is now ready to take part in them. Let me tell you, sometimes I would do anything just for two minutes of quiet!
