Behold...




We found this beauty at DI for $1.50 a couple of months ago. Only, it was fully intact. This thing is slowly falling apart, wheel by wheel. It is also short a door and front grill. This Hummer has captured Carson's heart and he has shown it lots of tough love. I keep waiting for him to lose interest in it, seeing how it only has one wheel left but he still scoots it across the carpet everyday like it's brand new. The broken-ness hasn't phased him one bit.


SO, Carson has issues with going #2 in the diaper right when he wakes up. I try to grab him as soon as I hear him awake in his room to put undies back on and deed is ALWAYS done. He's sneaky. Lately, we have been harder on the consequences of him going in his pants. The time-out isn't enough to change his behavior at this point, so I've been thinking about something that might be more meaningful to him. My answer: that dang wheel-less "black jeep" as he calls it. It now goes in to "time-out" when he does his business in his pants and he doesn't get it back until he goes in the potty. It is working! It's just funny to me that this is what he cares about. I have felt tempted to throw that thing away countless times. Little did I know that it would be the key to solving such a stinky issue.

hahah when I read, "I got this at D.I. for a dollar.." I was like...and you are proud of that?! That is awesome though how much he can love it still. Maybe he'll own a junkyard when he grows up. :) You'd be one proud momma.
