Kids...

Neacel is pretty much potty trained now, except when it comes to poop. He refuses! We have tried everything from bribing to punish....he doesn't care. He has told me he would rather go to time out with no ice cream then go poop on the potty. Stubborn maybe?? Well, use your imagination when it comes to what happens when he does have to go. He will hide, and then when you say to come here (because you can't see him) he tells you not to look at the poop. He will hold it till he has a pull up on at night, but big boy pants have had a recent increase of accidents too. Its a battle, and Nick and I are lost as to what to do.
Well, one day Broden was sleeping and Neacel was into everything, I needed to shower and knew I couldn't keep him walking around the house. So I put him in his room and let him play with toys, I told him if he had to go potty to hit the wall and I would get him as soon as I could. After my shower I walked by his bedroom door and could smell poop. Nothing I haven't smelled before so I just kept getting ready. Then when I went to get him, the pants were missing! I asked him where they were and he shows me that they were under the crib. But I don't see poop, but I can smell it. So I ask "Neacel did you poop?" Neacel says "yeah let me show you" he closes his door and shows it to me. All 3 big streaks across the wall, one on the door and a "pancake" that he was so proud because it stuck. I was so mad. This was the first time he had ever done anything like this. It was gross, I made him clean up most of it, while he was telling me that it was disgusting. I took pictures but Ill spare you the site of poop. Im sure most of you have seen your fair share from your own kids. I wanted to scream. Instead, I sent it to a website that always gives me something to laugh at. (website here) Luckily, since then he hasn't done anything else like that...but he still refuses to poop on the potty!!! Anyone have any ideas on what we could do? We even have offered to go buy the $40 Buzz Lightyear that he really wants...and a potty party but no luck!!!
