He earned it

I made Graesen a deal that if he went #2 on the potty we would go to the store to buy him a new toy.  He is doing great at using the potty, but had been holding it a lot when he needed to go #2.  Today he went while he was with Evan.  So, as soon as I got off work we headed to the store.  He walked around and looked at so many things, trying to convince me to let him get everything.  But then he saw it, a toy he has always wanted.  His "vacuum."  He is technically a bit old for this toy, but it is what he wanted :)  Since I knew he would grow out of this toy in a hurry, I let him pick out a small hot wheels truck too.  He was so proud of his new toys.

Then this afternoon he had an accident, and it was #2 :)  Oh well, at least he made it once today.  My main concern was that I didn't want him to start holding it and having a tummy issue.  Beyond that I think that he is doing great (1 accident per day) considering he just decided to start using the potty a week ago.  I am sure that he will continue to improve.

Tomorrow Graesen will go to his first day of "school" with me.  I have his outfit set out, his immunization record filled out, his nap time stuff collected, and his lunch made.  He is getting meat and cheese roll ups, blue berries, gold fish crackers, and fruit snacks for his first school lunch ever :)  We are a nut free facility, so no peanut butter sandwiches, and Graesen has never been very interested in meat sandwiches (although he will eat the meat plain).
