I have been pretty busy, and have fallen behind on my blog writing - but I wanted to document B's first real BIG potty accident. It was definitely a day I was thankful to be at work.
Sean had put his name on the list for riders with Senior Services after several weeks of break - due to potty training. About 15 minutes before leaving the house, B started playing "turtle." This means he would proclaim he had to poop, run to the potty, and then after 2 seconds of sitting there, he'd proclaim that it wasn't coming. So, Sean just let him run around with no pants in hopes he would make it happen before they had to leave.
About 5 minutes before they had to leave, Sean started loading stuff into the garage, and B followed him. Once they got the garage, he told Sean he had to poop, so Sean encouraged him to go run to the potty. Sean finished what he was doing and when he went to go back to the house, he met Brennan who said, "Papa, I didn't make it....." Sean said "That's OK, pal, accidents happen, let's go clean it up." Brennan turned around and Sean saw that he was covered in poop from his feet to his butt. He ended up hosing him off outside, before going inside to find 8-10 little piles of poop all the way from our backdoor to the bathroom. Of course, he was completely mortified! He did what he could to clean it up, spray woolite, but then he had to go to pick up his lady for her dentist apt.
When he got home later, he set Brennan up with his favorite show and a snack and told him to STAY PUT, while he tried to clean up the mess. Brennan was goofing off and spilled his glass of milk. THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW for Sean - understandably so! Sean told B to go to his room - and that is where he stayed until Sean came to get him - he was cowered under his blankets.
The good news is that we just got back from 7 days in MT and B did just great on the car ride & being out of his routine. We had just one pee accident (happened when he cut his finger on Grandpa's tractor - so it really doesn't count.) and one poop accident - he was just too excited to be at Nana & Grandpa's house, and didn't make it.
