I hear it coming, it’s on the way

In fact, it’s here and it’s here to stay.

The potty train is at your front door

And I’m the conductor yelling, ”All Aboard!”

You get mad and say it’s not for you

To that, I reply “Chugga Chugga Poo Poo!”

You think it’s funny and laugh a little bit

Until you’re on the stool and then you start to kick.

You’re filled full of  fluids and I know you have to go

But when I ask you if you’re ready, you say ’No! No! No!!”

So we continue to sit and wait several minutes

We read, play games, and I try every gimmick.

I tell you there’s candy, it’s your favorite reward

You just have to potty and every piece can be yours.

We wait and we wait and get really bored

But suddenly you’re ready and both of us are floored.

You did it! I knew it! I’m so full of elation!

Reichen’s train has finally left the potty station.
