Super Pee-er

I've found the Arkenstone of Thrain (son of Thorin) to Sam's potty training (name that book). He is way into this cartoon on PBS called "Super Why" and I found these reading charts at the library when I was in New Hampshire. So I swiped a few and made them "pee-er charts". If he gets 10 "pee pees" he gets to buy a matchbox car at the store. The first go at it took 8 days. The second go took 4. At the rate he is "going" (oh, I make myself laugh), he should be finished with this next round in 3 days. He even tells me he has to go and drags me to the bathroom (but not all the time). I'm liking this system a lot--it's been so stress free for me. Oh, and did I mention, there's a theme song too that I sing when it's time to go:

You've got the power, the power to pee.
To go in the potty whenever you need.
Super Sam! He's a super Sam.
He's the best darn pee-er in the land.

Oh Amber! You are a genius mother! Super pee-ers-to the rescue! We're BIG Super Why Fans. According to Ky, she's Wonder Red, Bo is Super Why, Quinn is Alpha Pig (because he's so chubby, her words not mine) I am Princess Pea (brown skin, naturally) Darnell is the "helper"

Ok this is too funny. We don't have cable so my little 18 month old is fascinated with SUPER WHY! It cracks me up. I didn't realize that many people watch PBS. We almost made him Wyatt for Halloween, I was afraid no one would know who he was. Anyway, we are excited to see you guys next month.
GOOOO SUPER SAM!

Super Why is a definite favorite around here. Good job modifying that chart and way to go Super Sam! I've Christmas tagged you on my blog, but don't feel pressure to participate.
