Monster Truck

For the past few months, Nathan has been peeing on the potty pretty consistently, even having dry diapers a lot of times (including overnights, which I think is pretty impressive for a little kid). However, getting him to poop on there has been a losing battle- months of trying have yielded nothing. Up until now, we promised him TWO m&ms if he pooped on the potty (he gets one for peeing), but thought maybe we needed to up the ante. So when Jason brought home a remote control monster truck that was on clearance at Costco, we made a snap decision to frame it as a potty reward. Would you believe that my kid pooped on the potty not FIVE MINUTES after this offer was made??? Of course then we had to scrounge around for the correct batteries, etc. Never in our dreams did we think he would "earn" his big present that quickly... Stupid parents...
