Poop and Cookies

Yes, I am that mom that shares stories about her child's poop, but it's because I am so proud (and I think it's funny).

We are trying to get Lash interested in pooping on the potty chair. Clint is trying to bribe him and told him a couple weeks ago that if he poops in the potty chair they would bake cookies together. Well, Lash pooped in the potty chair! Yay! Lots of cheering and dancing followed!

Monday, I walked in to the kitchen to find Lash and Dada baking cookies. I see Lash standing on a chair dumping chocolate chips into a bowl that has white sugar and brown sugar in it. I ask Clint if they are following a recipe and he said they were using the one on the chocolate chip bag. After observing for a minute or so I halted the cookie baking and showed Clint the fine print on the recipe...the part below the ingredient list that gave the actual instructions. Rather than following the instructions, the boys were just adding the ingredients (in a random order) to a big bowl. I did a little damage control and the cookies turned out great!!

Bless Clint's heart...he was trying hard!!

  1. Yea Lash! You and Zay are poopin' partners. Zay gets a little marshmallow for potty and a BIG marshmallow for poop, and no, we aren't really potty training. Just in the getting interested phase. P.S. I make cookies like Clint. Dump it all in and hope for the best :)
