Yesterday, we had more potty-training success. Andy did number two in the potty! Yeah!!! For that, I had to treat him to some ice cream from J. Flannigans, a local ice cream place with it's own charm and it's excellent brand of ice cream. I was able to take him just after 5 p.m., and we actually got stuck in rush-hour traffic. Believer it or not, Aiken has some rush-hour traffic.
Upon arrival, Andy knew exactly what ice cream he wanted: the Spiderman Ice Cream. It's actually called Superman Ice Cream because it's blue, orange and yellow, sort of the color of Superman's costume. But he doesn't know who Superman is, and calls it Spiderman Ice Cream.
We had to eat outside and once there, he spent his time running up and down the wheelchair ramp. The only thing he was interested in eating was the M&Ms I bought for him to sprinkle on his ice cream, only he didn't want to sprinkle them on the ice cream. I ended up just throwing his ice cream away. I guess that wasn't the point. The point was a celebration with Daddy because of his victory with the potty. We definitely did that.
I think what he needs next time we go to Flannigan's is some chocolate syrup over the top of it. Then he will eat it. Hhm? Seems like I will need to investigate this theory very soon.
THE PHOTO: Taken July 2007, at Flannigans. You can see the ramp, and there again, he has the cup with M&Ms. So obviously this is a pattern. Spiderman ice cream he doesn't eat, with M&Ms he does eat.

Sounds like you're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel :-).
BTW, Samuel has always had a thing for Spiderman too and I have no idea how that came about...he's never seen a Spiderman video or anything that pertains to Spiderman as far as I know. One day I pulled up the old Spiderman theme song and opening for the old Spiderman cartoon on Youtube and he loved it!

Hi Julie,
I will have to do that for Andy. He's never seen the movie either... as far as we know. Some friends who were watching him might have showed him bits of the first one, but I don't think so...
Blessings
