Adventures In Potty Training Part 2

Wow, even I can do it. That's right my 3 year old who was so stubborn about the potty to the point of holding it for 16 hours has finally gotten it. He has gone from fighting going on the potty to actually going. Here are some facts about potty training that I discovered:

1. This is the only time as a grown adult you can talk about poopy and pee pee in public and not feel self conscious about it.

2. Discussing the sound effect poopy and pee pee make with my son was not something on my wife's wish list. However he's going now, it worked. He also pretty good at the sounds.

3. Target might as well hold a 2nd mortgage on my house for all the positive rewards my wife has bought to assist with potty training.

4. When boys first learn to go they sit. Gentlemen there is a really good reason to stand. It's potty time not pee pee spritz fest.

5. More toilet paper does not get you cleaner unless you use it in the right spot.

6. If your child is a boy, you might as well teach him now to put the seat back down and save the aggravation.

7. They make green frog soap.

8. Seriously it is a wonderfully proud feeling when your child has a feeling of success after trying to learn something new.

It certainly beat diapers. Potty training parents, there is a light at the end of tunnel. Remember to flush and wash your hands.
