On another note, I have to admit something. I'm bad. I've resorted to bribery. I told Benjamin a few days ago if he started using the potty I would get him a pet fish. He loved that idea and even named the fish already - Bob. Well, today after the Arboretum guess who used the potty for the first time ever? As he was sitting on the potty and just finished, he said "now we go to store and get Bob the fish!" I said that's right and if you do it again we'll get you another fish. He was really excited about that and he already named his second fish - Junior. I guess at some point I can't reward him with a fish every time but right now it works. Anyway, the potty incident totally made up for the stressful morning. I'm looking forward to him waking up from his nap now so we can go get Bob the fish!
On our way out the door...a kiss for Savannah!

Want a pumpkin Mom?
Just one of the several tantrums he threw while
we were on our way out. Whew.
Savannah had a good time. Never heard a peep out of her! :)

You are not the only one, by the way! My 19 month old AND 3 year old run the opposite direction from me in public! And don't think of it as bribery, think of it as positive reinforcement! =0)
