"Poop Car"

Yesterday was a day to remember here at the Hedlund household... Ben pooped in the potty for the first time ever!  There was a lot of crying, kicking, screaming, sweating, but once I was able to get Ben to just calm down, he was able to do what I have been trying to get them to do FOR EVER!!!  They have gotten pretty good at peeing in the potty (especially Conner) but no matter how hard I tried, I just could not get them to believe that poop goes in the potty.  It was a huge step in our potty training drama yesterday and Ben is very proud of himself.  After he put his stickers on his chart, he also got to choose a new Hot Wheels car!  He carried that new car around with him all day and frequently came up to me to remind me that he had, in fact, pooped in the potty and had gotten a new car.  He called it his "poop car" a few times!  Ben was so thrilled!  Conner, on the other hand, was not happy that his brother got his very own cheering section, bonus stickers, AND a brand new car! Hopefully, Con's jealousy will motivate him to earn his very own "poop car!"   It was a great potty day yesterday and I am planning on having another one today...  hopefully the boys will cooperate!  Just like yesterday, we will not be going anywhere or doing anything too in depth because the potty is our priority!!!  We'll see how this goes...
