Making My Kid Laugh

Dylan has been doing a great job going potty. With the exception of a very difficult week, when he just abruptly decided he would not have any parts of it, he has been accident free. When he had that difficult week, Jim suggested that we use "Puppy" as motivation. If he wanted to keep "Puppy" he had to go on the potty. Accidents resulted in him losing "Puppy". Worked like a charm.

This week, I was saying to Jim that the little girl at work, while pleasant, doesn't really laugh that much. I said that one of the things that I love the most about Dylan is how often he laughs. I make him laugh all the time. It really doesn't take much. He laughs hard, and he laughs loud, and I love it.

One day this week, Dylan and I were drawing with his board. I told him I would draw something and he could guess what it was. I somehow got on a food kick, drawing strawberries, cake, bananas. When I drew the cake, Dylan said, "Daddy likes cheesecake. Mommy likes cookies". The kid certainly knows us! That is when I drew these...

This is me, shoving chocolate chip cookies in my mouth.

This is Jim, shoving cheesecake in his mouth.

This is Dylan, laughing hysterically.

Really, I wish I would have gotten the laughter on video, but the camera was close by, so that's what I grabbed.

He was laughing himself silly, when suddenly he went "Oh no!" I looked down and there was a small wet spot on the front of his pants. He said "I was laughing and a little pee came out!"
I made my kid laugh so hard, he peed his pants! It was the first time he had an accident that I really wasn't upset. It happens. It might have even happened to me on occasion. Laughing so hard a little pee comes out? I might even call that a great day.
