6:41am-6:50am- Kaden: Mom, mom, I get my bike today! Let's go to the store!
6:50am-Me: Go wake up your dad- tell him.
6:50am-9:30am: Dad, dad, DAaad- Take me to the store to get my bike! I went potty like a big boy. Big boy bike, big boy bike....is the store OPEN yet?!(You get the idea...)
Well if you couldn't guess, Kaden's reward for 2 weeks of great potty training (1 whole week without accidents) was his very first bike! We went to Toys R Us where he proceeded to try a Spider Man bike ("too hard"), a Tonka Tough Bike ("too big"), a no-name green bike ("too wittle"), and finally a shiny silver bike with a cute shark on it ("This is my FAVEowit!"). We snatched up the shark bike as well as a Lightening McQueen helmet (he kept calling it a mitt) and knee pads. When we finally got it home and put together he proceede to biff it immediatley on the first try ("THAT'S what these pads are for!") so he needed a little help- but not bad for the first run.
The rest of his afternoon was spent inside with the bike never further than an arm's reach away- even when he fell aseep at the table, he could not be persuaded to leave the bike long enough for a nap. I'm still working on a bed-time tactic, however I'm pretty sure it will have to entail some sort of compromise on my part.
