The Monsters In Our Lives

I finally defeated my procrastination monster and decided to start the blog I've been wanting to do. It will be used, partially, as a journal for me so I don't forget all the wonderful things my kids do. Although, I MAY complain quite a bit about these "wonderful" things.

I'm going to start right off with an issue going on the last few days. Griffin, my three year old, has finally been fighting his monster of going "yucky poopoo" in the toilet. He already received a pretty awesome toy for his first time.....a Little Einstein Rocket.



Which has since been taken away numerous times for accidents. So when he started to get on a roll again, he would ask to go to the store for a new toy almost every time. So I drew five shapes on a piece of paper, hung it on the fridge and told Griffin that each time he 'goes' he will be able to place a sticker on a shape. Once all shapes have stickers, we will go to the store to get the "big Spiderman" that he keeps asking for. I'm not quite sure what this toy is, so I hope it's within our budget. As proud as I am to say that he has completed his task, I'm a little curious at how his mind works. It's only been three days and I drew five or six shapes. It's like he rationed his outings to the toilet so he could get more than one sticker per day!
