The Power of M&Ms

Charlie's angst about pooping on the potty has all but disappeared with the purchase of a family sized bag of M&Ms last week; we have been rewarding him with M&Ms for poops on the potty and he has jumped so far on board with this that he will now race to the potty and strain until his little face turns bright red in an attempt to get M&Ms. I have gone full circle from being afraid he was making himself constipated by refusing to poop, to now being afraid he's going to give himself hemmorhoids or an aneurysm or something, from trying to force himself to poop. Go figure.
