Arrggghhhhh!

Big weekend over here! On Friday afternoon when I got home from work, I was talking to Louie about starting to wear big boy underwear, soon!
So, he put some on and then proceeded to sit on the potty and actually PEE!!!! We were very excited. Then he announced that he didn't want to wear them again or sit on the potty anymore.
A little bit later, he decided that he would really like a pirate ship. He's totally and completely into pirates right now. The Muppet Treasure Island and the Dora Pirate Movie are his favorites! We talked about getting a pirate ship for his birthday, etc.
I had the brilliant idea, since he REALLY wants the pirate ship, we could BRIBE him to use the potty with a pirate ship!
I put three post-it notes, numbered on his door. We told him that if he went in the potty three more times, he could get a pirate ship.
and by 5pm on Saturday, with no accidents, Louie earned his pirate ship. Of course, we were at Nick's graduation party, so he had to wait until this morning.
We made a special trip to Toys R Us and got him a pirate ship. He is in love with his new pirate ship. It's the greatest thing ever!
Last night, we went to my nephew Nick's graduation party. He's graduating from St. Bernard's. The party was so much fun. Emily and Louie had a ball. They danced up a storm to all the 70's music. We were really late getting home and they slept until 9:45am! It was crazy.
