My little rainbow pee-er.

Awww...how sweet! You're back again! Hope you enjoy your visit with the Peapod Squad!

I am SOOOOOO ready to have the peapod squad fully potty-trained. This has been going on for months and I’m about to lose my mind. We now resort to bribery. If one of them actually uses the potty, he/she gets a "special treat" (M&M) and a sticker on the potty chart. A certain # of stickers gives them a shopping trip to the toy department of Wal-Mart. You would think this would be pretty significant incentive, right? Wrong. Oh. So. Wrong. Anyway…I digress.

Yesterday morning found Split and Sweet sitting on their potties (we have a row of three in their bathroom…directly facing the "gome up" potty). There they were side-by-side. Sounds perfect. Nope. They both had their pajamas still on. They were not pee-peeing. No. They were feasting. Sweet had managed to break through the "child-proof" drawer lock to get to the bag of M&M’s. There they were…chowing down. I knew something was up because I heard them whispering "special tweat for you?" to one another.

Fast forward to last night. Split needed to "pee-pee potty" so off he goes. He sits in there FOREVER, pretending to read a book about lions. I heard a lot of roaring. Suddenly I hear, "Mommy! I did it new!" Huh? New? This I’ve gotta’ see.

Split: Yook! I do yellow AND geen pee-pee.
Me: What on earth?!?!?!

Yep. Sure enough. The pee-pee is mostly yellow with a streak of green where a tiny piece of blue M&M appears to have fallen into the potty chair from their gluttonous escapades yesterday morning.

And then…

Split: I get 2 special treats for yellow and geen pee-pee Mommy?
Me: Sure…whatever.
