"Knock-knock...

Who’s there??...Poo!”


Gross!!! Who comes up with something like that you ask?! My almost 3 year old BOY! Yep, we are not potty trained quite yet, but we LOVE to talk about potty things. B’s favorite is to tell us this lovely, Braeden Original, knock-knock joke while we are changing his diaper full of #2. Ahh, the joys of boys… and I’ll admit it is really funny and I usually laugh, but I try to leave the room first.

I have been talking with B about how all of the boys and girls in his class use the potty, and that maybe he might want to start using it too. (He likes the potty, he just won’t tell you when he needs to go-too busy!) I mentioned how it’s yucky to sit in a poo-poo diaper. Well, next time I will be sure to word things differently. The day after our chat, B went down for his nap (with his clothes ON). When I went to get him up, I noticed that his covers were pulled up high, and I could see his shoulders- sans shirt…

I asked him if he was dressed, and his response- “No, I’m naked!” as he threw the covers off. OMG…this can’t be good. I then notice his diaper was across the room, along with his clothes. I then look down to find some chocolate presents. That’s right, my kid pooped on the floor- glorious! And it gets better…I was sure his diaper had been off for a while, so naturally this kiddo had to have gone #1 somewhere. I pulled the covers back, and there was the pool of evidence. Yea! When I asked him why he did this, he told me- “I had to poo and didn’t want it on my bottom.” At least he took our conversation seriously.

FYI- this happened again a few days later. And this time the #2 wasn’t as easy to clean, and it was on a few pieces of furniture as well as stuck to his bottom. No pee on the bed this time…instead he went on the carpet- even better! So needless to say B has a long ways to go with this potty thing, but it can’t get much worse, so bring it on :) And be thankful that I didn't post pictures...I have them, but I'll leave that for us to laugh at!

(On a side note, I started writing this blog a few weeks ago…since then we are in pull-ups and seem to be heading in the right direction to being potty trained. Check back soon to see if we’ve made any progress!)
