Frustrated, But Not Me

Jaimie on Oct 13th 2008

CJ has a Wall-E video game that we let him play on certain occasions.  Lately, it has been reserved for when he poops on the toilet.  Hey, I was once above bribery.  Now my kid is four and still isn’t quite potty trained.  I conceded.  :)

Anyhow, a few days ago he was playing it, and got stuck on a certain part.  After trying it several times, he handed the controller to me and said “Mommy, I’m frustrated with this Wall-E game.  I need a break.” and went out into the kitchen for a snack.

I couldn’t have been prouder.  I beamed from ear to ear all day.

We have these bath toys that have different faces on them and are each labeled with an emotion.  He made the exact face of the frustrated one, down to his shoulder posture, when he said it, so i know where he learned that word.  Good job, Daddy who gives him a bath every night!

    Geez! That’s pretty freakin’ awesome. I love it!!

    What bath toys are these? Can you send me or post a link? I think we could use something like that here.

    They are puzzles (3 pieces each) that stick to the wall in the bath, so made of foam. They are made by LeapFrog. I did a quick search for them and didn’t find them online but I will look more later. Each one has a different emotion on it. We got them from my parents for Christmas.
