New Tactic

Noah is definitely a smart cookie.  In fact, I said that around him one time and he said, "smart cookie."  He has learned a really effective way to stave off sleep.  He will now lie in bed and yell that he has to go potty.  On top of that, he yells that he has to go poo-poo.  He knows that we need to respect that.

What he is learning is that false alarms about poo-poo earn him a spank on his bare bottom.  He doesn't like that very well, so I think that we will see an end to these false alarms.  Nevertheless, he is a wily one and we need to keep our eyes on him.  He's definitely more subtle than Lily ever was.
