Well, my laptop has been hanging by a string for about 8 months now. But I was determined to use it until it couldn't be used anymore...much like my car! LOL So last week Logan spilled a glass of milk on it - and that was it! So now we just have JR's laptop. Ughhh! It drives me crazy not having a computer! But, JR said that maybe I could ask santa for an iPad. I would love to have one...but the thing is - I just dont think I could get used to not having actually keys to type on. So I think I will just get a new laptop. My computer had a little SD port where all I had to do was take my card out of my camera and put it in my computer...JR's does not have this so it makes it difficult to upload pictures because SOMEONE seems to have broken my USB SD transfer thingy...yuck.
So here is the big news...Logan Finally pooped in the potty last night. It has been a long time coming, but JR and I talked about it yesterday an made the decision to not give him a diaper when he asks anymore. Logan has been able to pee in the potty for over a year now...and other than the occasional accient it has been wonderful. When he feels like he needs to pee he comes and asks for a diaper, and then he also gets a diaper to sleep in. I have tried to end this stage several times, but I tell JR...NO MORE DIAPERS...MAKE HIM SIT ON THE POTTY, and then I turn aroun and he is pooping in a diaper! But this time it was JR who brought it up, so I thought hey - maybe he will stick with it! Sure enough, after we finished the pumpkin and I was making the kids dinner plates, Logan asked for a diaper. JR took him to the bathroom and sat him on the toilet while I changed Ladnry's poopy diaper! Logan was SCREAMING. He is seriously afraid of sitting on the toilet, and I have no idea why. I fed Landry, then went to check on Logan..he was so pathetic it was awful. So I asked him if he wanted some green beans. A friend of mine told be to give them a bowl of candy while they sit on the toilet, but I hate the idea of giving him candy to just eat while he is on the toilet, so I thought I would try grapes...but I haven't gone to the store yet, So the kid got a bowl of green beans. He must have misunderstood. I think he thought that he could get OFF the potty as soon as he finished the green beans...so he was shoving them in his mouth so fast that I had to take the bowl from him so he could swallow! LOL After being on the toilet for 23 minutes I asked if we should let him off. JR said, NO. But, we had a new idea. I went to the garage to get a little table, and We put it in front of the toilet and put the laptop on it and let him play Go Diego Go. In total, he was on the toilet for 37 minutes...NO POOP! So, I let him go eat, but I wouldn't put a diaper on him. JR took Landry to bed and went to sleep himself, and about 9:15 Logan asked for a diaper...so I took the computer back in the bathroom, and set him on the toilet, AGAIN! He screamed at first, calmed down and played a game. After 15 minutes, he is yelling Mom, MOM, Momma...So I go in, and he says...I DID IT!!! I look in the bowl and sure enough....there is a big turd!!! I was so happy...I wiped his butt, and we ran upstairs, woke up daddy and told him the good news!!! JR was able to show excitement and give big hugs and kisses and we told him how proud we were...he was even blushing! Hopefully this will continue!!! He has such a fear of sitting on the toilet that I just kept thinking, if we can get him to do it, JUST ONCE, maybe he wont be scared anymore! So I guess we will see.

Do you guys have one of those toddler-sized inner toilet seats? Maybe if Logan had one of those he wouldn't be so afraid of sitting on the toilet. I know if I were tiny, I wouldn't be comfortable sitting on the toilet. Heck, I'm an adult and I still get uncomfortable! ;)
Yes, we have a Toy Story toilet seat. It doesn't really help...he is still terrified! Luckily it only last for about 2 minutes, and then we distract him with something! LOL
