The Love of Money

To understand the recent conversation between Gus and Elias you need to know a few things.
1. Elias loves money! He will pick up each and every coin he sees. One of his favorite activities is to dump out some of the coins in his piggy bank and then put them back one by one!
2. Elias loves Chuck E. Cheese. What kid doesn't? Our local Chuck E Cheese happens to be located in the mall, so when he requests to go to the mall we know that he really wants to visit the Cheese.

Here is how the conversation went:
Gus: Bye, Elias. Daddy has to go to work.
Elias: No! Daddy stay here!
Gus: Elias I have to go to work.
Elias: No! Daddy stay here.
Gus: I have to go to work to get money.
Elias: Monies? Go to work and get monies?
Gus: Yes, I go to work and get monies.
Elias: Then go to mall? Bye, Daddy! You go to work!!

He was willing to let Daddy go to work if it meant he got money to go to Chuck E. Cheese.
Things are still going very well on the potty training front. We have had no pee accidents all week. He is getting to be a pro at telling us when he has to go. However, we are experiencing difficulty with going #2 on the potty. It is a hit or miss deal (literally!). Many other moms have told me that this is not uncommon. I just don't know how to get him to poop on the potty. He knows when he has to go, but just doesn't make it or something most of the time. Any suggestions?
I am however so thankful at how easy this whole process has been!
