A Robot Walks Up To A Potty...

Rooney and Mom have been really busy lately with our new group, Active Moms and Tots. We have activities planned every day so we are out of the house alot. Part of our new nighttime routine is that while Mom does the dishes Daddy and Rooney get to play and have a little Daddy/Son time (since we have Mommy/Son time all day). Here they are playing with the camera and hamming it up.

They're just so cute!


We are also slowly introducing the idea of potty training to Roonster. He's really not pro-being potty trained at this time though. He will sit on the potty seat before his bath at night but there's no action going on. He just sits there and has a chat with Dad. I decided that he needed more incentive and broke down and bought him some M&M's. I needed a "high value" treat to entice him. Some of you may have heard that term from when you trained your dog. I hate to say it but really it's the same concept. Rooney likes the M&M's and would gladly eat them if I gave him a bowl but he is not begging to sit on the potty to get more. Food may not be "high value" enough and we might need to switch strategies. Maybe if I called them Robot M&M's...

There's nothing wrong with a little bribery.
