Wegmans is brilliant. They have a play land where the parents can drop off their kids so they can do their shopping in relative peace. One hitch, they have to be potty trained. Amazingly, Stellan shopped with me with little to no complaint. Granted, he was just excited to be able to see the trains. Regardless, this little incident inspired him to try to go pee on the potty. That night we had our first chance.
We were about to go out for a bike ride so I told Jameson to go to the washroom first. Of course, Stellan wanted to provide the audience. After Jameson was finished I asked Stellan if he would like to try. Sure, no problem. He pulled down his pants and took off his diaper. He then waddled over to the toilet (recall, his pants were around his ankles) and stood there. He's several inches shorter than Jameson so, had he actually done anything, we would have had a very wet floor. He stood there for a moment and then looked at me and said, "My penis doesn't work". What do you say to that?!?!
Jameson offered to get him the stool but instead Stellan requested the little potty. No problem. I quickly got it for him and placed it in a convenient location. I expected him to sit on it for a while and then get up bored with the whole thing. I definitely didn't expect him to stand, yes stand, at the potty. He faced it as if he was facing a toilet and proceeded to squat over it, letting his penis hang right over the hole. It was HILARIOUS!!! He squatted over that toilet until a drop came out. He was so proud!!! (As was I.) He then squatted some more until he actually peed. Congratulations!!! I am glad to say that I have pictures and they will most likely resurface for either his graduation slide show or on his wedding day. :)
It was only an isolated incident but I believe the Wegmans play room offers quite an incentive for him.
