Potty Funnies

Parker had a dirty diaper on Sunday, and I made some snide comment like, “you know you can poop in the potty.”  As I cleaned him up, Parker kept asking to go to the potty. I rolled my eyes and thought, “it’s what I get for mentioning the word potty.” He was persistent, so I finally took him. I was shocked when he yelled, “I did it!!!”  Parker got 3 little smarties to celebrate.

On Monday night, Parker yelled that he needed to go to the potty. We rushed in there and sat for a while. His favorite potty book is Once Upon a Potty, and his favorite part is when it says, “He sat and he sat and he sat and he sat and he sat and he sat……”  Parker finally said he was done, but he hadn’t gone yet. His diaper was a little wet, so I assumed he went a little before saying he needed to go. He ran commando through the living room for us to get another diaper. Next thing I knew, he was in the kitchen asking for a treat. No potty, no treat. Sorry kid. I stuck my head in the kitchen, and Parker was standing with the pantry doors open looking for a treat. I finally got him to run to me so we could put his diaper back on. It was then that I realized his socks were wet. “Parker, did you pee-pee in the kitchen?”  He pointed to the kitchen and said, “Mess. Mess.”  Sure enough, he peed on the floor and all over the bottom shelf of the pantry.

 

We were kind of over the whole potty thing by this morning, but Parker apparently wasn’t. He asked to go to the potty, and we were running early for daycare so I put him up on the potty. Sure enough – “I did it!!!” 3 more smarties for my little man. We’re now trying to decide when is best to officially start potty training – maybe this weekend? Wish us luck…
