P is for Potty (but apparently NOT for Poop)

Oh, how I have waited to post about this because in the past, as soon as i have, i completely JINX myself. However, it's going on, I dunno, two weeks? So. BODE IS USING THE POTTY!!!! He is potty-trained when it comes to peeing. Pooping is another story, but i won't dwell on that. I will hope that in the near future he will stop running and hiding behind a couch or in the den and will instead opt for the privacy of a bathroom to do his business. I am seriously thrilled by his progress and so is he, which is really fun to see. He runs and goes on his own or if we ask him to go, he'll go without complaint. As I tell him multiple times a day, he totally rocks!

Potty-training really does suck and i was incredibly discouraged with it. Now that things have turned around, it's amazing how much happier we all are. Sweet relief.

YAY YAY YAY! And way to go on not dwelling on poop. I worried so much, and then suddenly Ethan was doing it just fine. I'm sure it will go great!

I am SO happy for you!!! #2 seems to come a little later for boys(well at least in my experience), but before you know it I bet he'll get the hang of that too! Way to go Bode!:)

I am also LOVING the little man using the big toilet.

I was frustrated with the pooping problems the other day and asked him "What can I do to help you go poop on the toilet?" to which he resopnded "Do you think you should just strow (throw) me in there?" followed by a mischevious giggle.

What a trip kids are.
