Potty Training and a Remote control

Weird title huh? Well here's the explination.

So today is pretty much day one on the trying to potty train Brandon adventure. We first tried the pullups. It lasted a little while. He pulled them down went pee in the potty and then was sitting on my lap while talking to Nonna and he peed. First I could smell it then because of the design on the front of the pullups, I could tell he peed. I asked him if he peed in his pullup and he said "Yes!!" I said "NOOOO PEE IN THE POTTY CHAIR ONLY!" So I got this wild idea...let him go bare butt! It actually worked for a while. He sat on the potty and peed a few times and then went to play in his room. Was in there 2 minutes and then came to me and said "Mommy I peed!" I said "Where?" "In my room" I went in there and sure enough there was a puddle of pee under his train table. I spanked his butt and told him that he needed to pee in the potty!! I put him on the potty and then said well that was the first accident and he had been without a diaper or anything for about an hour or so. I thought that he didn't understand the whole potty training concept but when he came running to me telling me that he peed in his room I knew that he understood what we were trying to do.

So at this point of the day, he's in the living room. I go out there within about 5 minutes of him being in there to see if he needs to go use the potty...NOPE...He had already peed a pretty good sized puddle on the floor. I had just literally sat him on the potty about 5 minutes before hand. So I asked him if he peed on the floor and he said "yes" I said "NNNOOOO" and this time spanked him pretty hard and told him to go sit on the potty. I then sprayed carpet cleaner on the floor right there and proceded to make lunch. Hot dogs and baked beans. So then comes 1pm and it's time for Brandon to go down for nap and Mike to wake up for the day. He has a wedding that he's a part of, in May so he went to be fitted for his tux. He gets up goes to the bathroom. I gotta go to the bathroom and I can't wait for him to get out of there, so I go use the bathroom downstairs. I hear him call down to me, "When you get up here, get the remote by the sink" I said "Why is it by the sink?" he said "OH you'll see" I said ok. I came upstairs and Mike was laughing. I said "what's wrong with the remote?" apparently when Mike went to pick it up to move it, it "dripped" on him! Brandon peed on the remote!! And not just any remote, he chose to pee on the flippin Time Warner Cable remote!!!!! So if this remote doesn't dry out, how the heck do I explain to the Time Warner people that I need a new remote??? Can you imagine the phone call.


possible phone call senario:
me: "yes I need a new remote. Mine doesn't work anymore"

Timewarner: "is there any physical damage?"

me: "uhhh yea, pee"

hahaha!!
