extreme case of stubborn.

how long have you ever seen a child hold their pee?

i used to be a pro.

we are going on almost 12 hours here.

not to fret.

we even visited the pediatrician this morning.

thinking it was a bladder infection.

it is not.

just an extreme case of stubborn.

watching brennan do the potty dance around our house,

running man, while sitting on his potty.

squirming at the doc's office when she tried to get him to go.

i feel no guilt when i say,

it's down right hilarious.

brennan even had the pediatrician rolling.

sean, dr. chamberlin, and me.

all busting a gut as he sat on his knees dancing back and forth.

his little bum bouncing from left to right.

focusing so hard.

i've wondered if i'm pushing him?

doc says no.

if you ask him if he wants to wear his diapers,

he says no.

he obviously wants to go.
he tells you he wants to pee in the potty.
he wants his underwear.
and he doesn't want his diapers anymore.
it's like we are stuck in the denver airport,
waiting for our flight into iowa.
can't turn back.
but don't know how long it's going to be before we can get on our way.
except there's no tcby yogurt shop in my house.
no california pizza kitchen to tide us over.
maybe we can get to chicago.
b/c at least if we're in chicago we can walk on the moving sidewalk and look at the squiggly lights change colors overhead.
this coming from a girl who grew up in airports:).
are you following me?!
now he is running around the big room,

knees locked,

grunting.

running in place.

have mercy.

this child is the reincarnate of me and my personality.

and i love him for it.

poor thing, lol.

doc's orders?

lots of fluids,

and dangle every reward in front of him we can think of.

on the table as of yet:

jumping on the tramp.

soda.

bubbles.

halloween bucket treats.

ice cream.

t-minus 5 hours until we have to go back for the catheter.
at least we know he can hold it.
that's great news.
