Adventures in Potty Training
As many of you may know, some of the best little-kid stories arise out of the potty-training phase. Until yesterday, here are my two favorites.
#1 - My oldest son, like all little boys has had trouble with aim, but one morning really took the cake. He came into the bathroom, stood directly in front of the toilet, then turned his back to it and promptly peed all over the sink cabinet.
#2 - My middle daughter was once standing in the living room completely naked (in the process of getting ready for bed). She started to pee on herself, and as it started trickling down her leg, got frightened at this new sensation and started running away from it. Of course, she could not get away, and all she managed to do was spray pee all over the room.
However, Yesterday there was an incident that is much better (or worse, depending on your point of view) than either of these. We were in a restaurant bathroom with my 3-year old. He pulled down his pants, faced the toilet like he was supposed to - and promptly pooped on the floor behind him.

that is a good one......when we were training ZAch we used to let him pee outside at home and one day he squatted down and I asked him what he was doing and he said "going poops" I told to get in the house that he better never Poop on my lawn!!
I have a good one- Natalie always had a problem going poop in public restrooms. So I was worried last December when we went to Florida that I would come home with a constipated child.Anyways, we went to TGIFridays the second night we were in FL. Natalie wasn't really eating her food, and she kept saying she had a tummy ache. I would take her to the bathroom, but she would sit for 2 seconds and then say "Never mind, I don't really have to go." So the 3rd time I took her in, I told her that she really needed to sit for a few minutes. Then there is the awkward standing around while the kid is trying to go. So Natalie said "I'll sit here if you sing to me." So we discovered the one way to get her to poop in a public bathroom is to sing such songs as "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and the like. Thank God no one else was in the bathroom!
I wonder if Big A's mother has any stories to share???
Hahaha - I see I have all this and more to look forward to!
oh yeah, skape - just you wait.
