Potty Training

I finally did it. I bite the bullet and decided it was time to potty train Coulson. I was terrified and had horrible images of things smeared where they shouldn't be. Well, the first day went okay with just 2 or 3 accidents. That night we went to Walmart and Cole asked to go look at the fist (this was his reward if he potty trained). They happened to have crabs in and Cole just loved them. In a stroke of genius Bret promised Cole that if he would go poop and pee in the potty and no longer where diapers we would buy him a crab. The VERY NEXT DAY, Cole did just that, with no accident in his underpants. We went the very next day and bought him a frog instead and two glo fish. He loves his "froggie" as he named it. Now, I was afraid that now that he had the grand prize he would stop going in the potty again so we had him also earn a basketball. We have hardly had any problems since. I guess all it takes is a smart kid. Just kidding, it just takes the right bribery.
