Stand off

The stand off ended tonight. After a long battle today & tonight Jackson pooped again... after 3 days. We raced to the potty at least 30 times today (i'm not even exaggerating! it was probably more!)- he always looked/acted like this was it but would tense up when we got there and say "its just gas, mommy" or "I don't have to go yet". But after about 2- 15 minute tries this evening WE GOT POOP. And lots of it! Poor kid- he must have been hurting- which I'm sure made it even more difficult to go in the end. I was promising him anything he wanted- in the end he got a sucker, juice and tippin' tractor (from Cars, of course).
