The road to Chuck E. Cheese runs through the potty at our house. Our three year old has been a free urinator for the past few weeks and it has driven us nuts. He has peed in DVD cases, corners, Barbie cars, shoes, and anywhere he pleased, “just because I want to” according to him. Spankings were not slowing down the stream of free fire urine, possibly because his backside is already tough as leather due to the number of spankings he has required already. So, from the desperate dad playbook, I went to the wallet.
I had a conference with James and told him that I would take him to Chuck E. Cheese with his brother and sister if he could pee nowhere but the potty for one week. I briefed the siblings, so they could encourage him and I briefed Momma, so she could monitor the agreement. Well, Saturday, I am carrying the kids to Chuck E. Cheese and it has been almost two full weeks since the last free urination. I am declaring victory in this battle, but I am curious as to what the next one will be.
