A Good Day

Iain won three new toys today. Yes, we shower our child with gifts, spoiling him forever.

Or...

Perhaps...

HE USED THE POTTY THREE WHOLE TIMES!!!

Please excuse my excitement. He has never, ever, before used the potty at home. Once, long ago at his school far away, he peed in the potty. ONCE. Since then? Nothing. At home? Nothing.

But Charles is persuasive. He lined up a bevy of Matchbox delights where Iain could see them, he sat the kid down and he filled him up with cranberry juice (good for urinary tract health!) (diluted, obvy - a hyper kid on the potty would be bad).

The result: three episodes of potty success in a single day. Iain is, so to speak, swimming in new vehicles.

Mom and Dad? Ecstatic. Absolutely thrilled.
