potty time
**potty-talk disclaimer**
This last week we have been having potty try-outs for Enoch. Is he ready? Does he even have a clue? Until today I thought that this was pointless. He has yet to even pee on the pot.
But, just today I found him playing in his room. I was doing dishes and thought, "Oh no! He has gone off by himself." As soon as I entered the room he looks at me and says "not poopy." There he is pants up and all, with a big mound right behind him.
HE PULLED DOWN HIS PANTS, POOPED, AND THEN PULLED THEM UP AGAIN!! He is so busted for having a brain. Now I just need to teach him where to go. Apparently he's got the how down to a science.
Now it is the next day. Here I thought I had Enoch: Boy Genius in the family. Not so. It is Mommy: Not-So-Smart, instead. His poop just ran down his leg and fell out. He is too skinny to have his undies fit him right.
This is going to be a long haul, isn't it?

Oh my goodness....what a horrid experience. We're starting with Saryn very casually. Basically we're just talking about it a lot and letting her sit on the toilet when she wants. Then she washes her hands - this seems to be reward enough as she keeps on wanting to sit on the toilet just long enough that skin touches, therefore, she gets to wash her hands....
I so dread the day we have to start potty training. Is it appropriate to send them to kindergarten in diapers?? ha ha
please, Please, PLEASE do NOT start potty-training before coming home for Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I already have one poopy dog in the house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make it a New Year's Resolution instead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with annonymous. You can't nap or leave the kid that is potty training. It sucks.
...just thinkin' some more...
How far does Enoch's apple fall from the tree? Did he strip wallpaper from the wall, use it to clean himself, and then hide it in the drawer with his clean clothes?
