A Potty Training Story

JT has had one month of wearing big boy underwear! It has been a good parenting experience to end on – and such a RELIEF! I am so happy that we are past diapers – WOW did I just say that? He has been very cooperative, verbal, and especially creative!

He has had a few "poop" accidents, so we decided we should make it more fun. We formerly were calling them "plops" which seemed to work for our other kids, but because of the accidents we evolved into making "snakes" – thinking this would make it more fun. Well, one day we asked if he was all done making a snake, and he said, "just minute, I've gotta make a goat." ???? Where did that come from? We said o.k. The next day he made an ice cream cone, tractor, trailer, frog, motorcycle. Whatever his little mind can come up with, he makes! This weekend his specialty was a hot dog.

He never ceases to make us smile and laugh. I am sure that our family encourages this poop art because of the responses he gets from all 6 of us.
