Desparate Times, Desparate Measures

So what do you when your 3 year-old refuses to be potty trained despite bribing (I mean, "encouraging") them with Super Man underwear, countless Skittles, and many forms of praise and exasperation? You up the ante, that's what!

And after 3 long, frustrating months, Ethan finally earned his "big boy" bike. It has been such a blessing to only have to buy diapers for one member of the family!

All ready for the big moment

Of course we would have to live
at the very top of the hill!


He didn't actually make it far on his own.
He forgot to earn training wheels.

As you can see, he could have cared less!
