What would you do for 2 M&Ms?

Lucas will go potty!

We haven't spend too much time on potty training. He randomly went pee-pee in April, right after starting school. I had the potty sitting in the hallway to give away and he sat down on it and went. I thought that he had seen someone at school do it and that he'd start to show interest, but he hasn't really since then. He'll sit on the toilet for a few minutes while we sing a song, but no results.

I've seen two friends in the past week that have used candy as incentive to go potty, so I thought we'd try it since the kid is a fan of sugar. Last night after dinner I told him that if he would sit on the potty that I'd give him two M&Ms. He was all for it. So he settled in and we sang a couple of songs. I then asked him to try and go potty. His face got red as he tried, then his face lit up into a huge smile and he said, "I did it!"

It was the tiniest little poop ever, but it counted. I told him to go tell Dada and he ran through the house screaming, "I did it! I did it!" He even called me-maw and pe-paw to tell them about it.

I bet the novelty will wear off quickly, but it was fun to see him so excited.
