Payton-isms...

I just need to write more of these down... They're SO funny!

Payton has started to use his imagination thru play:

P: Mom, I'm Iron Man! (in a growling voice)

M: That's awesome! Can I be Iron Man too?

P: Okay. We both Iron Man.

M: What do we do first?

P: umm... fight the bad guys?

Here's another...

P: Mom, I go to King Soopers. You need somethin?

M: umm... Yes. I need milk, eggs, and crackers.

P: {looking confused} I don't have that!?

M: Well, go to the store and get it!

P: {walking into the kitchen} It's all gone. You don't get anything.

And, a sad one to finish it off...

M: Payton, did you go potty in your undies? {there's a big wet spot...}

P: no.

M: umm... let me feel. Ohhhhh.... You did.

P: {frowns}

M: Let's go to the bathroom. You know pee-pee belongs in the potty!

So, we headed into the bathroom, took off his wet clothing, and he sat on the potty. When he was done (he had nothing else to pee....), I stood him up and spanked him. *Let me preface his spanking with: He KNOWS to go in the bathroom and can go by himself. He just didn't want to because he was playing. He breaks his play daily to go to the bathroom so this was just a lazy accident... If I thought he had actually tried and just not made it, he would NOT have gotten a spanking. So, after the spanking, here's what he said:

P: {tears rolling down his face in a crying voice} You gave me a swaaaaaaaaaattttttt..... I go pee-pee in potty next time. Sorry mommy.

My heart broke. But, I think he realized that we mean business with the potty in the toilet and not his undies!
