Potty Ponderings

We thought Landon had the potty thing licked. He was even wearing big boy underwear some days. Then the last few days, he's decided to slide...again. So we had a discussion this morning; here is an excerpt:
Mommy: "How come you don't put that potty in the potty anymore?"
Landon: "I'm too busy." (typical male)
Mommy: "Too busy doing what?"
Landon: (using fingers to count) "Playing with monster trucks, making car machines, fighting fires, things like that (with a shrug of the shoulders)."
Mommy: "Well, maybe we just shouldn't play those things until you can use the potty again, so you're not so busy."
Landon: "But who will play with those things?"
Mommy: "Nobody, until you start going potty again."
Landon: "I just won't play with you anymore, Mommy, how's that deal?"
Mommy: "But..."
Landon: "I'm just joking you Mommy. I love you, but I love going potty in my diaper too!"
Will I win this battle? What do I have to do to convince this boy to keep up his good efforts?!?!?!

Also today:
Landon and I hosted the 'hood playdate this morning. 9 kids running around having fun (we were 4 short), moms having fun too...$0. Breakfast for the clan...$20. Clean up afterwards...priceless!
We went out for dinner tonight with some other moms and daughters whose hubby's/daddy's were out of town also. Claire says "It's a girls night out!" Landon says "But I want to go, where am I going Mommy...(sobbing)". I told Landon he was coming too..."But I'm no girl, yuck!"
