So, Thursday, I put it out there that I wished my child was a snowman (read about it here). Well, low and behold, during the baby shower on Saturday, he did his business. Yay!! I am the ecstatic mother that took a picture of the potty and then sent it to his father. lol. Seems a little odd, but it was a BIG triumph for our family.
We had bribed our son to do his business in the potty. That didn't work. Then, we took away all his privileges (ie: No Spongebob, no Angry Birds, nothing fun), so that he would focus on the task at hand. Finally, persistence did pay off.
Dyl knew that he got a big prize when he finally got used to the idea of going in the potty. We've only been talking about this for a year... sigh. Dyl said he wanted fishies. That just doesn't work for me. The last time the husband and I had fish, the husband's fish developed a weird fungus and died. Then, my fish decided to be weird and hide all the time, so the husband flushed it. No fish for us.

Growing up, I remember our school librarian having an ENORMOUS tank full of hermit crabs. Low maintenance, no noise, easier fungus control. Bingo! I have found our next pet.

How cute is that?
In doing my research, I have found they have fruity crabs... well kind of.

We are soooo getting Hermit Crabs. I'm excited to go searching for the supplies and tank decorating. Hmm... I wonder what theme I should go with??? I'm 100% sure that I'm more excited than the child. {I'm a geek.} Wait... maybe I should talk to the husband about this.... I said maybe! ;)
