Whew... the secret can finally be out!

For 11 weeks I have done my best not to explode and scream my excitement from the rooftops, but today's ultrasound has given me the confidence to keep it a secret no longer.  Come May Graham is going to have a baby brother or sister  :)





So you still have to use your imagination a little bit in these pictures, but he/she is for sure in there and getting bigger every day!

I think we have a closet addict on our hands!

So I know I have blogged about this about a billion times, but seriously I am at the end of my rope... the kid WILL NOT poop on the potty!  I mean won't... we've tried bribes, threats, treats, toys, new underwear, cutting up new underwear and throwing them away, nothing matters. 

The second I stop watching Graham, like to heaven forbid pee or answer the phone, he poops in his underwear.  He hides in a corner of a room or behind the swing set in the backyard and poops... like some sort of closet addict.  How do I break this habit?  Is he really not old enough because he has been peeing in the potty with minimal accidents since the beginning of July.  He can sleep through naps and probably 6-7 nights a week with a dry pull-up, yet we still can't poop on the potty?  Come on!

He's not afraid because on the very, very rare occasion that I actually catch him in the act or he happens to be in the bath tub, he will sit on the potty and poop just fine, but outside of those rare times, nothing.  Someone please give me the solution because I am out of ideas and tricks and am ready to throw in the towel... one more pair of poopy underwear just might throw this momma over the edge  :( 

Poop fairy, please teach my kid to poop on the potty!

Sincerely,

 Kate
