A Potty in The Park

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011

I was setting up a picnic a few yards from the jungle gym when I heard my 3-year-old holler, “Mommy, I gotta go pooootty!”

But here’s the thing:  As Latham was saying it, he was doing it.  Right. In. The. Middle. Of. The. Park.

True Story.  The End.

A Potty Training Tale

Wednesday, January 12th, 2011

“I have to go potty,” you announce the other day

And as you run for the restroom, I think, ‘there’s no way.’

 

We’ve never practiced on the potty- not one little bit

But since you’re so convinced, I decide to let you try it.

 

And so you grunt, and you push, and you wrinkle your face

You squeeze, and you breathe, and you sit right in place.

 

And when it finally happens, neither of us can believe it

And then we laugh really loud until our sides almost split.

 

He gives you a high five when we run and tell your brother

He says he’s so proud of you – way more than any other.

 

But no one could ever be more proud of you than me

You’re my 2 year  boy who taught himself how to potty.

 

 

Husbandism #28

David:  “Whoever poops ‘em gets to flush ‘em.”

My husband’s words of wisdom to our boys after he heard them arguing over who got the privilege of flushing Reichen’s poop down the potty.

Reichen:   “Mommy!  Mommy!”

Me:   “Yes, baby?”

Reichen:  “Can you bring me a magazine?  I need to look at it while I’m in here pooping.”

A Potty Poem

Monday, March 29th, 2010

Whatever your brother does, you want to do, too

Riding bikes or playing cars, it doesn’t matter to you.

 

But you catch me by surprise with your latest request

Going tinkle on the potty is such a big boy conquest.

 

‘HELP MOMMA’ you say while giving your pants a yank

There’s no way, he’s not ready, this must be a prank.

 

But I plop you on the potty and you sit there and smile

I tell you to be patient since this could take awhile.

 

We wait and we wait, and I promise you’ll see

And before we both know it, you’re going wee wee.

 

I yell for your brother so he can celebrate too

He gives you and hug and says, ‘I’m so proud of you!’

 

I know it’s not over and it’s just the beginning

But you and me together –  we can do anything.
